With the day off work for Presidents Day, Monday, February 17, 2025, I headed out to US-7648 the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Conservation Area at Biddle Point for another Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation to take advantage of the day. After finally getting my Amateur Extra license, I also wanted to talk in the Extra porton of the bands that have that. Why? Because I can.
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!
