1 viewsWe activated Pigeon Mountain US 3742 this Thursday at the South Brow Road site. There was abundant shade and a cooling breeze all day so it was a wise choice for a hot summer day.

Jeff N2YYP set up his rig way down an old roadbed away from the parking area. Something about sausages and gas. He made 41 SSB contacts on 20 meters with 7 P2P and 6 DX contacts.

Allen KN4FKS worked 15 meters SSB and made 33 contacts 4 P2P and 6 DX. Germany, Hungary, Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico and 2 Canadians.

Ed KM6UTC worked FT8 on 10 and 20 meters with 89 contacts and 12 DX.

John KB4QXI worked 40 meters SSB off his hamstick and made 12 contacts with 3 P2P.

Peter had tweaked his back so he didn't brave the pothole filled road but made the trip up to Grundy Forest Natural Area in Tracy City where he used CW to make 8 QRP contacts and 11 non QRP contacts for a total of 19 contacts.

A fun day was had by all.

1 viewsOn Thursday Sept. 5 we activated 'Sloppy' Floyd State Park US-2187. It was a wonderful day weather wise.

The bands also cooperated! Allen KN4FKS made 105 SSB contacts on 20 meters with 42 Park to Park contacts and 5 Canadian contacts. Danny AG4DW made a total of 76 contacts, 31 SSB on 20 meters, and 45 FT8 contacts on 15 and 30 meters. He had 7 DX contacts to Japan Germany Cuba and Canada. Dan K2DTS was there as well but I don't know about his contacts.

Another wonderful day in the parks.

1 viewsWe activated Chickamauga Battlefield US-0716 this Thursday September 19 which was special as it was the 161st anniversary of the battle.

The picnic area where we activated was the hotly contested battle line on the afternoon of the 19th and saw battle into the night. The Ohio artillery and the Indiana infantry held the Federal line here and attacked from here just before dark. It is a very special place to all of us.

Jeff N2YYP had a Great Great Grandfather who was a soldier with the Georgia Infantry severely wounded during this battle on the 18th near Lee and Gordon Mill and he suffered for a few days and then passed away.

Allen KN4FKS made 16 contacts on several of the odd bands. Lots of time spent calling CQ POTA. 3 on 17m, 2 on 10, and 3 on 12m, finishing out with 8 on 20 meters. He had 1 DX to France on 12 meters.

Ed KM6UTC had 75 digital contacts on 15,17,20 and 30 meters with 9 DX contacts. John KB4QXI had 19 contacts after lunch on 20 meters with 11 P2P and 2 Canadian parks in that total.

Thanks to all the other hams who came by to lend support and share our special day!
