In this video I show again the technique of activating a POTA (or other) entity by hunting other activators.
On New Years Day, Wednesday, January 01, 2025, I return to US-7648 the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Conservation Area @delawarednrec at Biddle Point to for my first Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation of 2025. I was also excited to get back out and spend more time with my new Yaesu FT-891.
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!
