10m USA WSPR spots

On 10m, WD4ELG (6287km) was the first USA station to spot me today, at 1646z.  It feels like there will be others, but conditions don't seem as good as yesterday.

UPDATE 1615z:  Only a couple of spots by WD4ELG so far.  At the moment the USA opening is marginal with weakish reports (-26dB S/N).

UPDATE 1812z:  KT5W (6314km) also spotting my 10m 500mW WSPR beacon strongly at -12dB S/N.   The USA opening is getting better!

UPDATE 2012z:  No USA stations spotting my 10m WSPR now for over 2 hours.  I think this marginal opening is over. Time to go QRT on 10m?

UPDATE 2155z:  Guess who was SO wrong again? K9AN (6505km) was still spotting me pretty well at 2126z. The opening may now be over but I shall remain on 10m just in case. 10m is a very odd band and filled with surprises!
