This is far from universally true. I'm in the Santa Cruz mountains, 
at the bottom edge of the San Francisco Bay area, a semi-rural and 
moderately quiet QTH, but I have yet to hear any signals from EU 
with either a dipole or vertical. When I've seen spots and heard 
nothing but pileups and no DX, I've called CQ a lot 5 kHz or so 
down. I've yet to see myself spotted from EU. I'm working on a 
Beverage pointed to EU, and hope to have it running this weekend. 

73,
