Good Es DX on 10m

This afternoon I put my WSPR beacon on 10m for a while and was surprised how wide open the band was. Strong Es signals from across Europe and N.Africa plus a couple of excellent reports from R9SA in LO71 square at 3661km to the east. I'm wondering if the band will open up across the Atlantic today. Even with 500mW I was getting very good reports. Reports from OY1OF suggest even 500uW would be enough for a report.
