Maybe it is the magic of a new month, or perhaps the cooler days, but today felt like an excellent day for an activation. Silver Springs park is just a few miles from my home, and has a couple of nice spots to park near the pond.
With a light mist falling, I was on the air just before 4 PM local time. I used my KH1 QRP rig, which puts out about 4 watts. less than a half-hour later I had 14 contacts in the log. The skies really opened up right as I was putting the antenna away (a mag-mounted 17′ quarter wave vertical).
Thanks to all the hunters who helped out!
Activation of Silver Springs Park US-10547 using a Elecraft KH1 handheld QRP rig (4 watts). A 17-foot quarter-wave vertical on a mag mount was used. HAMRS was used to log the contacts.
