After getting some free time On Saturday, October 05, 2024, I was able to get to US-1737 Fort DuPont State Park @DelawareStateParks17 in Delaware City, Delaware, for another Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation. 10 meters had been wide open for the past 2 or 3 days and I wanted a piece of that action. Again I wanted some more power so I set the power of my FX-4CR SDR transceiver to 20 Watts and got on the air. Watch the video to see what happened.
Thank you to the all of the hunters and fellow activators for the contacts!
