Mornings are a good time to score some DX here on the east coast, so on the morning of Sunday, October 19, 2025, I was back at US-1737 Fort DuPont State Park in Delaware City, Delaware for another Parks On The Air (POTA) activation. WOW! Watch the video and see what happened!

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!
