Hats off to Brian K1BS, Brian N1NW, and Rob N1RWJ and the crew of the RIOPTA.org and the groups.io RI-POTA group. These three fine gentlemen put together a fabulous 3 day long event and successfully put all 61 Rhode Island Parks on the air.
Sadly I was under the weather and wasn’t able to activate a park, but I did hunt dozens of the activators. In fact I went from needing 14 parks to get Hunted All RI Parks, down to the following 5:
- US-2881 World War II veterans Memorial State Park
-
US-5484 George Washington Memorial State Forest
-
US-6990 Nicholas Farm Wildlife Management Area
-
US-7518 Kimball Wildlife Refuge
-
US-7715 Durfee Hill Wildlife Management Area
By the way, 41 activators participated, including 11 that are members of Newport County Radio Club, with 5,449 logged QSOs (as of this posting).
