My family and I decided to camp for the night at US-5396, Long Pond State Forest. I'd only activated this park once, and it was so long ago it was all SSB. I hadn't even begun learning CW yet. Prior to this activation there were only 175 total QSOs at this park (15 of which were mine). Needless to say between this activation, and the one the next morning (video next week), I'm now the top activator at this park by a country mile. My buddy Eric, K9VIC is now the top hunter too. I used the G90 because a little more power never hurt, and since I was stationary I didn't have to worry about carrying the big radio, and the battery, etc. I ran the cwmorse billet aluminum paddles here. I apologize for now noisy they are, but they got the job done. I used the Wolf River Coils Silver Bullet along with a 213" whip, the WRC tripod, the WRC radials, and a section of Faraday cloth. It tuned up no problem on every band I ran. I'll try to activate from more rare parks this summer, and also try to use more gear that is realistic for the average beginner to buy. I have a ton of expensive and hard to obtain gear, and that can probably be demotivating for newer ops. Anyway, thanks for watching and 73!
