I only operated when I wanted, which made it very enjoyable. Ate with my wife, did a bit of 'this and that', then operated some more.
The first night, I didn't have an EU Beverage, but managed to work 6 EU stations, as I recall.
Second night after I repaired the EU Beverage, I NEVER heard a European station at all.
Never really worked much out west and what there was, when I was on, was weak.
Heard lots of PVRC members and it's always nice to work them. My 40 year of home brew 4-1000 amp continues to work without issue. If all things were that reliable...

I was busy keeping people fed and fixing things, so I operated very little.
Because of that, I can't really comment on propagation specifics.
But, I know that it sure would have been nice to have 10 meters be as open as 15 and 20.
