Enjoy the ride to Wright Lake Campground and then setting up an inverted vee in the Apalachicola National Forest to operate Parks On The Air. The best antenna for me is the inverted vee at 30-40FT high.

Nestled in the heart of the Apalachicola National Forest (POTA K-4470) in Florida, Wright Lake Campground offers an unparalleled camping experience. This serene location is not just a haven for campers, but also for parks on the air (POTA) enthusiasts. POTA is a program that encourages amateur radio operators to operate portable from designated parks around the world. Wright Lake Campground, with its lush greenery and tranquil surroundings, is an ideal spot for both camping and POTA activities.
The radio in my truck is a Kenwood TS 480, the high power one and I have a scorpion antenna mounted on the side.
The radio in my camper is the icon 7300 and I have Ameritron solid-state amplifier. The antenna is the HiQ mobile antenna.
I am thoroughly impressed with the Icom 7300 and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-performance and user-friendly radio. Its advanced features and ease of use make it an ideal choice for amateur radio enthusiasts.
I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. I have a lot of fun. On my RU-vid channel I upload videos mostly on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 as well as Ham Radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to get involved in Amateur Radio.
