Support Your Parks POTA Weekend
I haven’t had time to activate a new park in a month so decided for Easter weekend I’d do a quick “10 park mobile hunt” Saturday morning for the "Support Your Parks" POTA event weekend. The mobile setup from my Jeep is a Yaesu FT-100d, 100 watts into ATAS-120a. I love the ATAS actively tuned antenna especially since I do mostly SSB and tend to hunt on different frequencies a lot. The tuning on the antenna is great. I have lot of power line noise at my home QTH and this easily outperforms my OCF dipole at home. The ATAS works best on 15, 17 and 20m. Does OK on 40. Haven’t done much on 10m with the ATAS yet. Grids quare EM12ub on Richland Chambers Reservoir. The ATAS is a great performer when installed with a good ground and RFI snap on chokes at the feedpoint. Richland Chambers is not a Park but still a fun way to hunt! I did more mobile hunting over the weekend between chores and finished with 24 parks today. Propagation was great on 20m here at the lake.
