I thought I had a POTA activation, but only learned after the video uploaded that I needed 10 contacts instead of 4.
I've been refining my portable setup. I wanted a small antenna that would world well in my environment (lots of trees) for SOTA and POTA. I also wanted something that didn't break the bank. I (almost) activated park Hall-Hill/Vernon-Douglas State Nature Preserve K-7957.

I bought the Reliance EFHW Bugout mini from here:
relianceantennas.com/product/efhw-bugout-mini-antenna

I like this little antenna, and it's going to stay in my portable bag.
