Hamvention Detour for a quick 1900z CWT. At Cooper Lakes State Park US-3000. Only did the minimum of 10 to count for both POTA and the CWT because despite using half a bottle of Off these East Texas Mosquitos were eating me alive. They had two inches of rain last night here and the swamp was swampy. #hamvention #ParksOnTheAir #cqparks #wwff #elecraft #hamradio #TexasStateParks
