LARG POTA Activation – 19 Jul

We have a great morning activating park US-9935, the VA Bird and Wildlife Trail at the Rust Nature Sanctuary. Setup started about 815am and we stopped operations just before noon. We had 3 stations and while I don’t have the final numbers, we were between 90 and 100 QSOs. Also 3 operators got their first exposure to FT8 and POTA all in one sitting.

Attendees were:

  • Steve, KS1G
  • Ron, KB4IQI
  • Tareck, K9TRE
  • Patrick, KR4VZF
  • Rob, KR4EEV
  • Jerry, KR4BXO
  • Dave, KE4S
  • Jim, K4FW and his wife Cindy.
  • Steve, N4RAF

We also had some visitors who stopped by as they went out to repair the bluebird houses and expressed some interest in getting their license.
