Very nice, congrats on activating 3 parks in a day. I had to work Saturday. I only do QRP CW & am building several wire antennas so hope to do a few early morning activations soon. Cheers, Davey - KU9L.
Great job. A fun thing about POTA is the awards can motivate hunters and activators to try new things, whether it's activating/hunting new parks or trying different bands and modes. 73
My first solo Field Day was 2013 before POTA existed, and I did what you did - went from place to place and operated 1C. This year I did 1B as a POTA activation at one site - K-1318.
I’ve had great luck with these two antennas. Any of the N9SAB wire antennas are great. Tim makes great products! He’s on ebay. The vertical with the Silver Bullet 1000 coil and the 17’ vertical whip works great too. I’ve used both of these QRP with an 817 and had great luck with them.
