However, I like to work DXpeditions on the first day/night for the challenge. But understandably if you have compromise antennas and low power, you may have to QRX a bit.

Propagation favors the west coast better than europe on some bands at some times. Try after 2100z on 15m. As much as when I hate when they do this, they sometimes also work by the numbers.
I wish I could have a decent tower and a small beam, but that's just not in the cards right now. You are fortunate to be in a position to have them Ryan, and more power to you for that. Not complaining, mind you, just recognizing reality. (And I do pretty well with what I have, regardless)
