It's not open....
But it's semi-functional.
Been sitting here listening to a couple of stations east and west coast. Love it when the bands crack open when they *shouldn't*
Fun fun!

I will, often schedule a 10m opening for the holiday. I forgot all about it this year. One of the frequency maters must have tried to schedule one in my place.
I'm about to start the teardown of the middle operating position and swap the FT-301 ensemble for an FT-901DM plus peripherals. That's the spot where I do the majority of my 10M work. Hopefully it'll still be hopping when all is said and done.

How the F do they even talk when they are keying over each other like animals?

It's called playing "radio".
When you are a "Superbowl" Operator and there are multiple stations keying down trying to be heard, it is wise sometimes to slide 'off the channel' to one side or another to be heard; the "mud ducks" are slobbering in their microphones on the channel while you and the person you are communicating with are are uninterrupted a few KHz off.
That's a real problem for "Channelized Hams", if your signal isn't on X.000 or, X.500 hertz, they cry about your radio is "Off Frequency"; No, my transmitter is on what frequency it is on and your receiver isn't. A symptom of your radio's receiver frequency being tied to your transmitter frequency.
