Winter Field Day 2022
Florida POTA meetup – K-1848 Colt Creek State Park
Drove up to the Florida POTA meetup at Colt Creek State Park K-1848 which is also inside Green Swamp Conservation Area K-5330 so it counts for 2 parks. Right when I got there a few people were making UHF/VHF contacts with each other that count for park-to-park, so I got 42 park-to-park contacts in about 5 minutes which was fun. I met quite a few people I’ve seen on the Facebook group. I didn’t setup my stations since there were so many going already. I got a brownie with my name and callsign on it.
ARRL RTTY Roundup 2022 – 100 contacts
I normally get a lot more contacts in the RTTY Roundup but I couldn’t get a run started at all. I’d call CQ for 10 minutes and get nobody. Search and pounce worked fine though so it wasn’t a signal problem. It was super nice out so I smoked a nice cigar while operating from the garden hammock.
