Plenty of USA 10m WSPR spots today

KB4SC (6560km) was the first USA station to spot my 500mW WSPR today, at 1316z. Since then, a lot of USA stations have been spotting me. It has been a good day on 10m today, despite the lowish sunspot number and the "fair" forecast.
 
UPDATE 1836z:  Still lots of spots of my 10m 500mW WSPR beacon by stations in the USA today. I have the feeling that the 10m band will be open to the USA for some while yet?

UPDATE 1926z:   Still wide open to the USA on 10m.

UPDATE 2012z:   At the moment it looks like KC1AWS (5308km) was the last USA station to spot me today at 1928z. Only local G4IKZ (18km) since then. Will soon be going QRT on 10m WSPR.

UPDATE 2024z:  The opening to the USA is not yet over! K9AN (6505km) and others were just spotting me strongly! I'll stick around a bit longer, HI. Perhaps this is the "last gasp" as the F2 MUF falls?

UPDATE 2050z:  USA stations are still spotting my 500mW WSPR. This is very late now. A total surprise.

UPDATE 2150z:   The last spot from the USA was an hour ago. I think the opening to the USA is now, at last, over. It was a good and long one. Now going QRT on 10m WSPR.

UPDATE 2230z:  Now QRT on 10m. Have reset my PC to internet time on MF.
