I guess 10 meters has as much to do with your location as it does your antenna, because I have not heard much of anything on 10 meters all summer.
The sun spots are at an all time low and Solar Cycle 23 has been a bust.
I worked 110 countries on 10 in the last 3 years, but the prediction is that we are going into a all time low that has not been seen since the 1600's and that it is going to last 200 - 300 years....

Living in a northern latitude will do this...

The guys I talked to down in Tampa Bay every day three years ago were on 28.415 MHz USB..
They have a entirely different situation down there with lot's of locals on the frequency and lots of skip coming from the south.
