Me and the wife went out to Lake Livingston State Park US 3028 today. My goal was to see if I could successfully activate the park using my Xeigu X6100 and my Reel POTA-ble EFHW Antenna. I also wanted to use only the built-in battery on the X6100 and the tablet. I did have a 6ah battery for the Micro pa50 that I used for some of the contacts. Unfortunately, the noise in the park was too much for phone operation. However, I did manage one SSB contact. I was successful in activating the park, and I think I ended up with about 29-30 contacts. Some contacts were at 5 watts, and some at 14 watts, and some at 28-30 watts. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it went. Thanks to all the hunters, N5BSB.
