The First 100 Years Are The Hardest

Fun activation yesterday at Richland Creek Wildlife Management Area reference K-6596.   41 QSOs in 45 minutes with several Park to Park.   Parks on the Air (POTA).  All 20m SSB.  Wolf River Coil with 103” whip fed into my Yaesu 991a. No park tables or chairs so operated out of the back of my Jeep and used the toolbox as a seat.  Permits required for entry into WMAs so please check requirements or your state ahead of time.  I already have the Texas State Park Pass but you also need either a LPU or an AHP with valid hunting license.  Both can be purchased on line. c

Spent the afternoon at Cedar Hill State Park K-2996 for a Parks on the Air (POTA) activity. I made 40 QSOs on my Yaesu 991a HF radio using the new Wolf River Coil vertical antenna - the combo worked very well at 50 watts on 20M. Thanks to all the Hunters who helped make my first activation a success!!!
