Jackson Hole, Wyoming POTA Trip Report

Image
 I was active in Wyoming on June 24th - 30th, 2023.  I was able to make 62 contacts - 45 on SSB,  17 on CW, all on 20M.  Longest contact was Spain (EC1R) at 7929 km. I also worked Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and New Brunswick. and Puerto Rico, and at least 25 states. I used my Elecraft KX3, and a combination of the MP1 Super Antenna mag mounted to the roof of the car and the KM4ACK EFHW antennas.  Overall I’d have to say the MP1 outperformed the end fed!    2023-06-30 K-0698 John D.
