POTA Weekend

I used the EFHW for everything. I activated 4 park entities:

  • Caledonia State Park after riding the Michaux GRVL ride.
  • Michaux State Forest from the ATV trail parking on the ridge.
  • Kings Gap Environmental Education Center late in the day, so I raced a little.
    • antenna up in about 8 minutes
    • 10 contacts within 26 minutes
    • on the road again 14 minutes later
  • Pine Grove Furnace the next morning, where I ran out of battery, so I did the whole thing with 1W FT8. I practiced a bit and started putting out my call on CW to see if RBN would pick me up, but kept it to a shy 1W. It didn’t pick me up.
