KFO̸UNK<p>Got 8 parks hunted before utc midnight then activated and got a really big pileup immediately that died out after 11 or 12 callers. Whew!

🌈 mischk 🇮🇱<p>Very challenging first activation of DE-1023 on 20m. It took me almost 2h for the 10 QSOs.

KFO̸UNK<p>I haven't done FT8 in a while so decided to benchmark my 44ft 9:1 build by activating each band in order from 15 to 80m (I forgot 60 though lol)</p><p>This basically matches my expectations based operating on CW and SSB with it.

I got in a quick activation at Cuyahoga Valley National Park today. A bit frustrating. I had to go to several different spots. Either there were massive groups (doing...things?) or they had removed picnic tables and left things such that I needed to find another spot. Kinda weird. I don't love it. But I know that my weird spots are still free.

But removing picnic tables at a place called Shady Knoll Picnic Area? Uh... What?

I did get AK in the log tho! That's a treat!

*sigh* As usual, I wasn't paying attention to the time, and I only had eight contacts before the new UTC day at this #POTA activation. Guess I have to make ten more!
