It was a Saturday morning and a great time for an activation out at my favorite spot: Cuyahoga Valley National Park – K-0020. Yes, yet again, my wife and I got on our bikes and rode out to the park for a little bit of radio. The wind was high and the world was telling…
This past weekend was a good one for radio. I managed to squeak in two activations of Cuyahoga Valley National Park – K-0020. Along with that, I tried something new with my mast and my bike. On Saturday, I drove out to the park. There were still stray bands of the ragged edge of the…
And we’re back to Cuyahoga Valley National Park – K-0020. As has become our custom, my wife and I got on the bikes again and rode out to have a good morning on the trail. And, as usual. I brought along the IC-705 to do a quick activation. Given that we had a lot going…
OSPOTA 2022 The first Saturday after Labor Day each year is the Ohio State Parks On The Air contest (OSPOTA). For me, 2022 has been a year of POTA and being as I’m really into it and it’s sponsored by my club, PCARS, I decided to pick a park and activate. I chose Salt Fork…
This biking thing is getting fun. A quick zip out the the Cuyahoga Valley National Park [K-0020] and back isn’t a big deal. On the Saturday in question, my wife and I decided to head out. It was a pretty nice day and I expected there to be quite a few people at the park…
My wife and I have been big on the cycling thing since we acquired our new bikes. Since the previous weekend’s trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park [K-0020] was so much fun, we decided to do it again. But this time, we would hit a less traveled area where I’d never been. The ride was…
It’s been a while since my last trip out to a park for an activation. This time of year, things get really busy and it’s hard to make time to get out to a park for a bit. So I intentionally put together a bit of a micro expedition to Cuyahoga Valley National Park [K-0020]…
On Sunday, 24-Jul I decided to run out and grab a quick activation while everyone else was doing something else. I headed out to Wingfoot State Wildlife Area [K-9518]. It was warm and a bit humid. With few options for getting to someplace fun, it ended up being a Jeep activation. Once again, the Chameleon…
The Support Your Parks event for POTA enthusiasts was the weekend of 15-17 July, 2022. I got out for it in the spring and decided to go out to support the effort. I only had a couple of hours to pull it off and I did have a park nearby that was new to me….
Since we got a camper, we started spending time with Hipcamp. It’s a place where you can find private campgrounds. In essence, someone has a chunk of land and they set it up for camping and rent it out through this service. Kinda like Airbnb for camping. Using that service, we found a nice farm…
