Locked Sibley State Park #pota #qrp


 

On Saturday, June 3rd, from 10am to noon, I plan to activate Sibley State Park K-2522 for Parks On The Air. I will be operating QRP at or around 10 watts on either 40, 20 or 17 meters. Anyone interested is more than welcome to show up and join the activation. 73 W0AYE


 

Talk in frequency of 146.580mHz

Will you be NVIS?


 

Depending on site setup I could try. I don't have an easily deployable antenna for 40m/80m NVIS. I do have 80m NVIS capabilities at home how ever.


 

Sounds fun! I'll need a camping day after this spring work is done.


 

Randy, when I mention to the wife about going to the park for an activation, she said we should just make it a weekend and go camping.


 

100% down.


 

Thanks to everyone that came out to the Sibley State Park POTA activation!
There was lots of interest from passing by hikers and families enjoying the park this morning. It was equally as fun explaining ham radio and "what are you doing" questions from curious kids and adults.
The activation was a success as far as activations go by QRP standards (10watts or less). Band conditions were good on the 20 meter band, although intentional QRM was heard.?
14 contacts (10 required for POTA) were made in about an hour and a half of operation.
