10M open most of the day today as well!

All you are seeing is some daytime "E's" that have limited range of a hop or two to about 2500 miles max. To me "open" means F layer propagation which is a lot longer distance and is not going to happen for several years now as cycle declines. Partial or limited opening is a better description here.

OK fair enough! It's nice to see 10M active since it's been on the quiet side for a while!
...I agree it is nice to see some activity but you might check 12 or 15 m instead when something is heard on 10.
