Even when you tune across the CW portion of the band and hear absolutely nothing, it pays to call CQ. Managed 54 CW contacts in an hour-and-a-half at Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area,
US-12062. Thanks hunters! 73/44. #POTA #parksontheair #potacorgi

Had fun working some big CW pileups at 4 Hawaii Island parks today. Made 105 contacts across 35 states & 6 countries. Thanks hunters, especially Laurent, WØMM; John, AE5X; & Joe, AI5DD @Josefius (qrp). 73/44 #POTA #parksontheair #potacorgi

Combined dog sitting and #POTA activation today at Chugach Nat’l Forest, US-4447 & KMTA Nat’l Heritage Area, US-7884. Worked about 40 cw contacts on 17 meters. Great DX over the pole to Europe. 73/44! #parksontheair #potacorgi #potadoggies #needtowashthetruck

What a blast! An over-the-pole path opened up Tuesday and I was able to make 50 CW contacts with hams in 15 different countries! The scenery was great, too. US-4447, Chugach Nat’l Forest and US-7884, Lowell Pt State Rec Site. Thanks hunters! 44/73 #POTA #parksontheair #potacorgi

Some days you just have to enjoy the view. Took me 3 hours to get 10 #POTA contacts at US-9701, Palmer Hay Flats Wildlife Refuge. Also did a much quicker activation at another park Saturday. Had the pleasure of working Vince @VE6LK on CW. #supportyourparks #parksontheair #potacorgi

What a blast! Did a combined #POTA rove & RaDAR rally. Made 58 contacts from 8 locations in 5 Alaska parks over 4 hrs. Lots of DX: Finland, Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Slovenia & Japan. CW with a little SSB. #parksontheair #potacorgi #RaDARRally http://www.radarrally.info/

Back in Alaska for a few months. My first /KL7 activation was a 3fer from a scenic overlook just 7 minutes from my QTH. Made 39 CW contacts from my Pickup with a fiberglass mast, linked EFHW & FT-891 running 60 watts. #potacorgi was napping in the back seat. #POTA #parksontheair

Challenging conditions today (RF not WX), but managed to eek out 10 CW contacts from K-4565, Ala Kahakai Nat’l Historical Trail on the Big Island. #potacorgi supervised the activation. Thanks hunters! #POTA #parksontheair

Lotsa lava at K-0739, Kaloko-Honokohau Nat’l Historical Park on the Big Island. Made 84 CW & SSB contacts in 2 hrs. A friendly NPS Enforcement Officer who’s interested in Ham radio stopped by for a chat. FT-891, linked EFHW at 70 watts. #pota #parksontheair #potacorgi

Straight shot across the Pacific to the Mainland from K-6406, Mackinzie State Rec Area, south of Hilo. Made 78 CW & SSB contacts combined from here & K-6402, Lava Tree State Park. Thanks hunters! Will upload logs on Monday. #potacorgi #POTA #parksontheair
