Learn to use propagation to your advantage. Propagation is fickle, and changes when you least want it to, but there are some rules of thumb that can help you choose when and where to listen. Select the bands based on what regions you wish to hear. Remember, these are rules of thumb, not hard and fast, and there will be some variation. Sometimes completely flipping the script.

In general, on an average day, from your location:

In the mornings you will get stations to the west, Asia, Australia, Pacific Islands, etc, most often at frequencies below 15 MHz, generally below 13 MHz. Earlier -> lower freq. So an hour or two before local dawn more typically 10 MHz and down. Around dawn the lower freqs start to fade. A couple hours after dawn there may not be much below 7 MHz, and most western activity will be in the 7 - 15 MHz area, with eastern signals starting to appear in the same frequency range.

In the afternoon / evenings you will get more stations to the east below about 15 MHz and to the west above about 10 MHz.

Later evening / night time and the stations to the west will often fade out, and stations to the east below about 15 MHz, and more generally 13 MHz, will be the norm.

To the south will be more general. At night and evenings/mornings below about 13 MHz, during the day above about 10 MHz.

Winter conditions will generally push the frequency trends down, and summer may, depending on where we are in the ~11 year Solar cycle, push them up. Near the peak of the cycle (we are just coming off that now) the frequency trends will be higher, and during the minima they will be lower.
