Waiting for the ES-season, Australia on 10m

Finally there was some time for radio again today. Of course I had high expectations for some good ES on 10, 6 and 4m. However.... but at least
there was some F2 propagation on 10m. Some DX was made with Pakistan,
Kuwait and Australia. I also saw Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India, Thailand and
UAE but didn't get my signal there since I was not the only one calling.
Still I imagine that my receive is far better as my transmitting abilities.
And although I didn't work all the DX available it is receiving the DX that
is most important for a HAMradio station.
Later there was some Africa and South America that could be received. Not a
bad day at all after all. The ES propagation was reasonable, I received stations from all over Europe but they were not that strong. It could be a whole other situation tomorrow...
I checked for SSB signals on 10m a few times, but nothing could be heard. Actually checked 11m as well, nothing heard. FT8 gives a lot of DX opportunities that otherwise would not be possible at all...
