As you correctly observed, geography, topography, and station
capabilities can make a HUGE difference. For example, 10 and 15 were
quite poor here near SF, yet N5KO, operating at W6NL's mountaintop QTH,
did far better on those bands.
I have strong antennas for 80 and 40, so I rarely take a break after my
45 minute break for dinner. My first and second breaks come when rates
drop on the lowest band I can work, and I'll time that dinner break so I
can work 'til the end.
