Oh, is EU in this contest?  :)  Five miles from the Pacific near San 
Francisco, 10M is possible to EU only in 2-3 peak years. So far this 
year, no AF or AS at all. Trans-equatorial gets us the bigger stations 
in South America and Oceania. All the action here has been sporadic-E, 
both single hop and double hop. The best action here was a double-hop 
opening that lasted most of our morning and brought a lot of Qs and 
multipliers east of the Mississippi River.  I'm running high power, and 
have needed it -- even when signals are there, only the single-hop 
E-skip is strong, and then only sometimes. I'm having fun, but it isn't 
easy.
