NOTE FOR NEW VIEWERS: I've been using the FX-4CR at (mostly) 5W for over a year. I just purchased a brand new Yaesu FT-891 and I am NOW using 100 WATTS OF QRO POWER! I never claimed IN THIS video that I WAS USING QRP for this activation. If you missed the INTRO and OUTRO, go back and watch them again. And if you missed my older videos, please go back and watch them.
And listen to the song's lyrics during the map sequence.

PART TWO
After making a bunch of contacts on 10 meters during my Parks On The Air (POTA) activation on Christmas Day, Wednesday, December 25, 2024., at US-1569 Elk Neck State Park @MarylandDNR in North East, Maryland, I headed down to 20 meters to see what else the day had in store for me. Watch the video to see what amazing things happened.
