Delaware has had a few border disputes spanning its entire history. One of the more interesting disputed pieces of land has been what is called "The Wedge" in the northeastern part of the state. After getting done with work on Monday, April 10, 2023, me and Alfred the POTA Pug went over to K-1743 White Clay Creek State Park @DelawareStateParks17 and K-0898 White Clay Creek National Wild & Scenic River @NationalParkService @USInterior in Newark, Delaware, which is inside The Wedge, for a Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir 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!
