It was kind of funny to watch how fast her demeanor changed when she realized that it was free admission weekend and that's why no one had State Park stickers. Both she and the head ranger showed up at around 11am to ask questions about what I was up to and to inspect the station lol, he asked me to move my Hi Vis yellow coax so it wouldn't be a tripping hazard and thanked me for not hanging anything in the trees. Apparently someone had lost a section of haul line and a piece of antenna wire in the trees at Monson State Park.?
Overall, I think Mt. Tom is the best place to set up portable bc talking to curious hikers and passerby's is just as fun as playing on the radio.
