The first stateside station copied on 10m WSPR today was
WG2Z (5600km) at a decent -10dB S/N at 1202z. I think this is a little earlier than yesterday?
UPDATE 1210z: I was on 472kHz until I QSYed to 10m WSPR.
G3ZJO is a very decent signal now on MF. For example at 0922z he was around -15dB S/N. He has been even stronger, which for 10mW ERP is excellent.
UPDATE 1250z: The first USA spot of my 500mW today as by
WG2Z at 1218z. Not long after I was spotted by
KC2GMM at -17dB S/N at 1228z. USA stations spotting my 500mW WSPR regularly on 10m now.
UPDATE 1504z: Tomorrow I may try 10m WSPR with a 10dB pad in the antenna lead so ERP will be about 50mW, but RX 10dB deaf too. No I'll try it NOW! Looks like 5mW (or less) would be enough with W3CSW.

10m WSPR spots, to 1620z, with 50mW |
UPDATE 1754z: 8 USA reports, so far, of my 50mW and, even with a 10dB pad in the RX lead I still copied
G0LRD (25km)'s 50mW and
W7CNK's 5W (7458km).
