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…

We activated K-6700 Sawgrass Lake Park which is one of the newer added Parks, in St. Petersburg, with the St Petersburg Amateur Radio Club. We got quite a few park-to-park contacts and we'd have everyone send their callsigns out so we gave people quite a boost to their P2P contacts. Billy KN4LUZ…

While I was in MA I had time for an activation. There's quite a few state forests next to eachother but I picked Mount Grace. This was a quick activation, I made 14 contacts with 2 park-to-park.
