I have a W4OP 40-10 meter end-fed mounted in the peak of the attic of my single story home.

I managed to work VP6DX (Elecraft sponsored) a few years back with a 10W K3 on 40M SSB (two times, early mornings local) as no one else seemed awake to call.  Also into Europe since on 40, 20 and 17.

More recently with a 10W KX2 I have managed to work into KH6, W6, Europe, Caribbean, and South America using CW and SSB, again on 40 mostly. 

You just need to “pick your battles”, as you will (probably) not crack large, alligator pileups.  Band conditions and timing is everything

Have fun!!!!!!
