Experience the absolute chaos of a wide-open band during this high-energy POTA activation from US-10659 Augustine State Beach in Port Penn, Delaware on Sunday, March 08, 2026. I caught 17 meters in peak condition, providing irrefutable evidence that you don't need the standard bands to rack to score some DX. Watch as the contacts pour in and see why this often-overlooked band is the place to be!
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!
