Well, so far, no Japan on 10 meters for me.  Maybe some of the larger contest stations heard something on 10 to J A land but if they did, I never heard them working any on 10 meters.  They were on 15, to some degree, and a lot on 20 meters and 40, of course.  the only strong DX on 10 meters were KH6 and KH7 and KL7 stations and a few Caribbean signals were pretty strong.  At least a few Europeans made it through on 10, too, so that is a very good sign for us here in Colorado.  I'll listen tomorrow afternoon on 10 and see if conditions are any better.  Oh, by the way, I'm just using my vertical and G5RV at 35 feet.  The R7 vertical is at 20 feet on my roof.  A beam makes a big difference.
