We did a family vacation at a beach house this week at Dauphin Island and I took a radio and did some very casual  "holiday operating".  I used a Yaesu FT-991A and 17 foot telescoping whip antenna with 3 radials with maximum power of 50 watts.  No tuner.  Just manually adjusted antenna for best SWR.  QSO's were all FT8/FT4 although I tried some CW.  I didn't bring headphones and was getting complaints about the "noise".  There were some good CW signals on 20.  I ended up with 63 different entities.  Lot of fun!
