Here in CA, we certainly appreciate it when the shoe is on the other
foot, and DXpeditions in AF and the Near East stand by for us.
Except those EU run DXpeditions *rarely* tell Europe to standby and
work North/South America for hours on end on every open band like the
guys from TX5K have been doing the last couple days. If DXpeditions to
Africa, the Middle East and SE Asia would work NA/SA exclusively when
the bands were open for the first three days to a week, I (and a great
many others) would not be so put out about TX5K's "All Europe, all the
time" antics.

On 30m, using my KX3 at 5W, worked them this morning. Dual RX
helped A LOT!
I'm in the log for ten QSOs so far, all at 5W. CW on all bands 40-10
and SSB on 40, 20, 17, and 10 (except the 30M QSO on the first day is
one of those missing from the online log). I'm still working on 80 and
160 -- so far, when they've been loud enough to work they've been taking
advantage of pretty good conditions to EU.
Some turkey was on 40CW last night complaining about them working EU,
but it's a very good thing that they're doing it. TX5K is easy from the
US, much tougher from EU. Here in CA, we certainly appreciate it when
the shoe is on the other foot, and DXpeditions in AF and the Near East
stand by for us.
