On the way back I stopped at K-4633 Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest. I only attempted to pronounce it once, the other ham said they can’t pronounce words like that up north. This one is well north of I-75 and about 10 miles down Keri Rd, which is an unpopulated road so it was a really nice drive.
There were multiple entrances to the park, I picked one that looked nice on google earth.
I paid another $2 entry fee and drove down the road for awhile. Really nice views.
I was on a conference call for work with a guy from England, one from New Zealand and a group in Houston. Nice place to work from.
I drove down to the end of this road where there was a clearing but someone had run over the stop sign and the road was too hard to stake my antenna down (broke one of my tent pegs trying) so I backtracked till I found a suitable post.
Found a decent enough spot to set up. There wasn’t any traffic (or people) at this one.
I got a decent pile up going and made 56 contacts in just over half an hour. Got Spain, Switzerland, Belgium and France.
