Join me on this 8-bit Parks On The Air (POTA) activation & adventure from US-1737 Fort DuPont State Park in Delaware City, Delaware, as I make contacts on 3 different bands to make local and cross-country contacts. I even score an unexpected DX contact too. As always, this video serves as irrefutable proof of contact for every operator who hunted me down during this activation.
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!
