I was able to leave work a little bit early today so I headed down to Atterbury Fish and Wildlife Area, now known as US-4183, and setup shop in the Mink Meadow. This was a real time crunch for me, so I got set up in about 10 minutes, and got on the air for another 20 minutes, and managed 13 contacts all on 20m. I noticed as I was tearing down the site, my KX2 was still set to 5 watts from last night's Second Sunday Night Sprint (hosted by the 4 States QRP Group).
I managed to work several states out west, including Colorado, Washington, South Dakota, and Nevada. That was nice to have in the logs. I did not have any time to hunt for Park to Parks, and had to get down the road. Weather today was bright sun and 83F ... considering we had snow flurries and four days of rain last week, it was a welcomed change.
I was pretty impressed with the way my 5w was getting out there, here's a snip from the reverse beacon network. Not too shabby!
Well anyway, I hope to get back out to the parks later this week...all depends on the April Indiana weather.
