No tower. No beam(s). No amp. 

Very modest, but DX'ing can still be fun from Florida!

Only 80-10m bands were available. (15m part time) Antenna run down - 80m 50 ft
tubing top loaded T wire; 40m 1/4w wire parallel with 80m tube; 20m wire dipole
center hung from top of 40m bracket; 15m no antenna to start, used 17m dipole
with tuner, later installed a partial CC-R7 vertical 10ft AGL on pipe; 10m wire
"fan" on 20m dipole or later the R7. Rig old IC-781.

No 15m antenna to start on Friday, so missed any opportunity there. Thought
band conditions were not so good so quit early. Did not start again until mid
Saturday, still no 15m antenna (used 17m dipole with tuner) Stopped in
afternoon and spent hours building up a 15m vertical hoping to catch JA
opening, but missed it. It was not as good on Sunday. But that got me back into
the mood. Operated long into Saturday night, condx vastly improved for lower
bands and then a fabulous 20m "Aurora" opening!
