POTA Event Update - ARTS and Parks - Club POTA
The event was attended by my self N9PMI, Don (K2KFE), Mike (AG4EP), Greg (WX8V), Keith (KO4SWB) and Scott (K3SDM). While up at the park, we battled with 40+ mph winds and spitting rain. We had no major issues other than my tripod holding my EFHW toppled over. That was solved by adding some counter weigh. While there we operated on multiple bands and multiple modes including SSB, FT8 and CW. We made 184 contacts and of that 24 were Park 2 Parks. A good day in the activating world considering weather conditions.
ARTS is planning on making club activations a regular monthly even happening on the 3rd Saturday of every month. We will post information to the club mailing list and the website.
