It was an almost Spring day on Sunday, March 16 2025, so I decided to go to US-7648 the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Conservation Area at Biddle Point for another Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation. I haven't been on 15 meters for a while so I decided that I would start there. Watch the video to find out what happened!
Thank you to the all of the hunters and fellow activators for the contacts!
ALL amateur radio operators world-wide need to know the DX CODE OF CONDUCT. It was meant for DX contacts, but it really applies to ALL aspects of amateur radio (DXing, contesting, POTA, SOTA, Field Day, special events, etc...). DON'T BE AN ALPHA HOTEL!
