My beautiful bride gave me permission to go out again today, and most of my gear was still in the car from Friday's adventure, so I loaded up the missing bits and set up on a State Trail for some #ParksOnTheAir.
I got there around 16:30Z, and hunted my first park by 17:07.
Sadly, the bands were not very cooperative today.
A little over three hours later, had 105 contacts in the log and it was time to pack up and head back home.

I had a scheduled maintenance window at work Friday evening, so I knocked off early Friday afternoon and headed to a park for some #ParksOnTheAir.
I got there around 20:30Z, and hunted my first park by 20:57.
I happened to be there when midnight UTC hit, so I was rewarded with a fresh pileup.
By 00:17Z, I had worked the pileup and needed to pack up in order to get back to work in time for that maintenance window.

Had a great #POTA activation at US-0460 today. It’s only been activated 16 times, which surprises me. Worked Hungary again, and France!

Every time I do this, I think I probably enjoy it even more.

@bgarfoot Here's is the link to today's POTA CW activation pileup (UNEDITED). It is far from PERFECT but this is what works for me. I don't AVOCATE anyone following my example. Find what WORKS for you. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #POTA #parksontheair #MorseCode
