985 Breakfast
It was good to chat radio with everyone, and Luke talked about restoring his antique loose coupler radio.
US-1380 Marsh Creek
After breakfast, Vic KC3TYX, and I made our way to US-1380 Marsh Creek for a park activation and to compare notes on how we operate.
The weather was pleasant, and Vic started on 20m with a vertical ham stick and faraday cloth for a ground plane.
I tossed a EFHW to slope from the picnic table up into a tree. I got it in a good spot with the first try. I was on 40m to give him some room, but the band was pretty dead in the middle of the day. I still had a little interference, since Vic was running 100W. I eventually switched to 20m when Vic had enough contacts, so I could finish my activation. Only 15m and 20m really worked for much. I did all digital + 1 phone to another park in Tennessee.
