It’s a POTA Two-fer as Dave, KZ9V, joins us in downtown Eau Claire, WI as we sit in Phoenix Park and activate two Parks on the air entities: K-8221 Chippewa River State Trail and K-8223 Old Abe State Trail. Listen in as we talk about propagation, FT8 hunters skipping TX1, and how I log my FT8 contacts.
As a bonus, patrons can view the full, extended conversation between Dave and I during the Parks on the Air activation. Visit my page on Patreon for details: https://www.patreon.com/posts/pota-unedited-k-84220639
I do return QSL, if you made a contact with me and would like a QSL, please send me one. Return postage not necessary, but always appreciated. As they say, KB9VBR is ‘good in the book.’
