This Thursday we activated Cloudland Canyon State Park US-2169 from the main park location.
The DNR Game Warden K-9 units from all over the state were training at the park Thursday. While Allen KN4FKS was setting up his vertical antenna a K-9 and two handlers came by working on a trail and an evidence search problem. They passed within ten feet but the dog was focused on the job and was not distracted by Ham!
Soon Allen was on the air on 20 meters SSB where he made 17 contacts. Moving he made 18 more on 40 meters for a total of 35 contacts with 14 Park to Park contacts. Just to see Allen called CQ POTA for ten minutes on both 15 meters and 17 meters with no success. Mid day these bands were just not happening.
Danny AG4DW set up and made 84 contacts total. 37 on 40 meters and 47 on 20 meters. 40 contacts were SSB and 47 were FT8. He had DX from Japan Spain and Canada.
Also on Thursday John KB4QXI activated Pigeon Mountain, Ed KM6UTC and Dan K2DTS activated the Battlefield from different sites.
