I worked 4A4A on 40 meters recently. They're on the Revillagigedo Islands in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico. Being stuck at the office 9-5 during the week means I can't take advantage of 10 meter openings until the weekend, but 40 meters has been open in the evenings too. I've been able to work New Zealand and Europe on 40 for the first time ever in just the past couple weeks.
The pileups can be pretty terrible though. Lots of people with beams and amplifiers, and I'm just running 100 watts with a wire antenna.
