W3RRR Hamfest and POTA

W3RRR Ham Fest

I passed the test for Amateur Extra: 40/50 correct. I needed 37 correct.

US-4567, Captain John Smith Trail

  • POTA with Matthew, KC3WRY, at the boat launch under train tracks south of Marietta.
  • FT8 on 20M
  • 1 CW P2P contact on 20M. I didn’t fumble so much.
  • I used the newly-printed and rebuilt EFHW winder and throw line. The velcro strap remains a problem for snagging the line.
