I have worked New Zealand and Australia many times lately on 10M; not every day. Just listen, voice unmistakable, lol. Later in the day seems best and sometimes into the dark with IC-7300 and simple ground plane antenna. Checking the log, these as well as Japan and Alaska as well most were between 2200 and 0100Z and were mixed CW and Phone (CW being far easier toget a reply/hear my signal of course). WA3NZA
