10 M is usually only active in the day, and no so active at night. There are times though when it is active at night.

My 2 cents...you'll probably have better luck on 2 M if you stick to repeater use. I have a 2800M and I run a full 65W. thru a Cushcraft Ringo ranger II base station antenna that the tip of the antenna is about 25 ft off the ground, I can hit repeaters 50 miles from me. However as posted, it's all about how high you can get your antenna, how high off the ground the repeater antennas are, and what kind of obstacles are in the way that suck up signals.
