I wanted some guaranteed SHADE on the hot & sunny afternoon of Saturday, August 12, 2023, so I headed back out to K-1743 White Clay Creek State Park @DelawareStateParks17 and K-0898 White Clay Creek National Wild & Scenic River @NationalParkService in Newark, Delaware for another Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation. Again wanting to use a minimalist setup, I packed up my NEW radio for it's first POTA activation.

Thank you to all of the hunters and POTA activators for the contacts during this activation!

New POTA-themed QSL cards are IN! QSL info can be found on my QRZ page.

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!
