At the moment 10m is in great shape.
On this band, worldwide DX is possible most days by F2. We are also approaching the Es season in the northern hemisphere bringing good propagation out to about 1500km, occasionally much further.
You may be after a simple, but effective, 10m antenna so I would like to remind you of my Homebase-10 antenna that was in Practical Wireless many years ago. It is very low cost and most of the parts can be bought at your local hardware store. It might make a nice weekend project.

It is a very good design Roger. I turned it in to a multiband design and work 4 bands with it. I am still surprised by the results. The only problem is that the antenna is very sensitive to rain and snow. 73, Bas.
