@qrper After our contact I spotted you on POTA.app. Hope that helped with the rest of the activation.

@qrper In the log! Could not hear you at all on 40M.

Activated K-1518 (Maybury State Park) yesterday afternoon. I intended to use my IC-705 but the paddle would not work as if the key jack was bad. I switched to my back-up radio (TR-35) and completed the activation which included 5 P2P’s. Two post activation notes - 1) One is none and two is one! Thanks Vince! #VE6LK 2) The paddle issue was the result of using the wrong jack because the rubber cover somehow was rotated 180 degrees and I was plugging into the wrong jack. D’oh! #POTA

@N3caa For the RBN alone to spot you in POTA.app you have to have scheduled the activation first. You should not have to manually respot yourself for at least 30 min or so.

@wt0f I have used these successfully when RF was getting into USB cables connecting the radio and PC. Wrap the cable through the toroid as many times as you can.

My first activation (K-1518) for 2023 (took a winter break), and it was a tough one. Band conditions not good. But got it done with the help of a couple of P2P’s. Have another planned for later in the week, at a new park for me. Used the KX3 and the Chameleon MPAS Light on this one. All CW as usual. Thanks to all the hunters! #POTA
