Late last night, eight new parks were added to RI’s existing 53 parks, bringing the new total to 61.
- K-10541 Gull Cove, Portsmouth
- K-10542 Camp Cronin, Narragansett
- K-10543 Patriots’ Park, Portsmouth
- K-10544 Jerimoth Hill, Foster
- K-10545 Hillsdale Preserve, Richmond
- K-10546 Eight Rod Farm WMA, Tiverton
- K-10547 Silver Spring, North Kingstown
- K-10548 Barber Pond, South Kingstown
This morning, I headed off to Silver Spring Lake, K-10547. By the time I got there, I couldn’t help but notice another ham was already on the air, so I decided to change to Barber Pond, K-10548. It was a beautiful late fall day, and the activation went well, with 60 stations worked in an hour, despite having to change frequency 3 times.
My thanks to Jim Garman KC1QDZ, who is the POTA coordinator for the state of Rhode Island and all those that helped him come up with the new set of parks.
