Nice to be back at our reopened Minute Man National Park (US-0745) this afternoon. Activated the park in my car after work. Contacts included PJ7AR in St Maartin - he was beaming in loud and clear. This activation was with my HF-008 antenna on my car&#39;s hood with my Xeigu G90 at 20 watts. https://journal.seefar.dev/sections/New_Antenna_HF-008/ #POTA #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

Went to a new POTA site yesterday, Greycourt State Park in Methuen, MA. Greycourt State Park is a beautiful urban oasis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greycourt_State_Park This morning, while Josh was at baseball practice, I went back to Warren Manning State Forest. It&#39;s 10 minutes away from Josh&#39;s baseball facility. #POTA #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

I&#39;ve earned my Kilo Award at Minute Man National Park. Minute Man is a few minutes away from my home and is my go-to park for a quick and relaxing activation. Thanks to all the hunters out there. #POTA #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

Work and life has been so busy I haven&#39;t touched a radio in three full weeks until today. 😮 Went to Beaver Brook State Reserve (POTA site US-8400) to scratch that itch. #POTA #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

I earned my POTA Kilo Award at Minute Man National Historical Park (US-0745) a few weeks ago. I&#39;m lucky to live near such a beautiful and historic place. https://journal.seefar.dev/sections/Kilo_Award_MinuteMan/ I commemorate my Kilo award with a photo drop of my activations over my many seasons there. #POTA #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
