Backstory I recently bought a new POTA-mobile and decided to move my mobile into it. I had it mounted previously in my Ford Ranger on a PanaVise dash mount. That worked well but the new (to me) Xterra has a ton of other options. I ended up getting a dash top mount from ICS-Fab.com that […]
25 November 2022 POTA K-2341 WWFF KFF-2341 A Quick Outing I had a few things to take care of before heading back home to Illinois, but also had some time this morning to sneak in a quick park activation. On the map this seemed a lot further away but once I got to the location […]
24 November 2022 POTA K-2347 WWFF KFF-2347 Park Perry State Park or just Perry Lake as I’ve always known it, is between Topeka and Lawrence. It gets pretty busy in the summer time with its beaches, but is very open in the winter time. Like all state parks in Kansas (except Kaw River State Park) […]
23 November 2022 POTA K-2332 WWFF KFF-2332 A Small Hike I started this one off with a small hike because I wanted to activate on top of Sanders Hill Mound that overlooks the lake. When I got to the top I found a very nice park bench that would be perfect for setting up at. […]
16 November 2022 POTA K-3844 WWFF K-3844 North Carolina Not my first activation in North Carolina and probably not the last. Jordan Lake is an easy drive from the Raleigh area, and a nice chance to get outside on this trip. My wife tagged along with her cousin and one of her kids. I guess […]

4 November 2022 K-1015 Pere Marquette State Park Back On The Air! So happy to be back on the air. I spent the last six months in Saudi Arabia on what is hopefully my last of six deployments with the Air Force. I brought my radio with me but could never get permission to actually […]
5 January 2022 K-3841 Falls Lake State Recreation Area NC Rounding Out the Family Visit This has been a reasonably long road trip. First a night at Dillon State Park in Ohio, then staying with some family near the DC metro in Virginia and last but not least it’s time to visit family near Raleigh, […]
31 December 2021 K-0654 National Capitol Parks Park Family Visit Near DC So after hanging out with some amazing small humans I decided to get up early and head out to a park. Strangely the DC area doesn’t have a ton of CW activators so I decided to bump those numbers up a bit. I […]
18 December 2021 POTA and SOTA Together My wife was was going to be out all day hanging out with a friend so I decided to activate a park while she was gone. After some looking around I found Buford Mountain Conservation Area in Missouri about an hour and a half away. Turned out that […]
