After a day of medical imaging, I had some time to do a Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation from US-1743 White Clay Creek State Park @DelawareStateParks17 US-0898 White Clay Creek National Wild & Scenic River @NationalParkService and US-9881 Pomeroy and Newark National Recreation Trail in Newark, Delaware at one location where all three POTA entities meet. I thought this would be a simple activation, but that's not how things started out. Watch the video to see everything that happened!
Thank you to the all of the hunters and fellow activators for the contacts!
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!
