The event was attended by my self N9PMI, Don (K2KFE), Mike (AG4EP), Greg (WX8V), Keith (KO4SWB) and Scott (K3SDM). While up at the park, we battled with 40+ mph winds and spitting rain. We had no major issues other than my tripod holding my EFHW toppled over. That was solved by adding some counter weigh. While there we operated on multiple bands and multiple modes including SSB, FT8 and CW. We made 184 contacts and of that 24 were Park 2 Parks. A good day in the activating world considering weather conditions.
ARTS is planning on making club activations a regular monthly even happening on the 3rd Saturday of every month. We will post information to the club mailing list and the website.
This link will let you download a copy of the slide show from my presentation at the 11-10-22 ARTS General meeting. In there is good information on Parks on the Air (POTA) You may also go to https://parksontheair.org.
Thanks to all of you who make this a success.
At the December 2024 ARTS meeting our traditional Christmas Mystery Gift Exchange will place. The way it works is members bring a wrapped unmarked ham-radio related gift of about $25 worth. Numbers are issued to the participants. When your number ticket is drawn, you get to choose any one gift that remains. If you touch it, it’s yours! In the past there has been a lot of pretty good stuff exchanged, such as working handi-talkies!
To participate, simply bring a wrapped HAM Radio related gift (new or used) to the December meeting and put it on the Gift Table. You never know what you may go home with!
Also, please make sure your gift is in good working order, and does not need repair. See you there!
