Field Day at Cherry Creek State Park

Went out to Cherry Creek State Park (K-1213) with a buddy and played radio. I took my buddipole but couldn’t get it to tune up because I forgot to charge my VNA. Luckily I brought an EFHW that I strung up to the buddipole’s tripod.

I only worked 10 contacts in 4 hours. 8 SSB and 2 CW, but it was fun. I forgot how awesome operating from a park is, and I want to get back into POTA!

Rig: IC-705 Antenna: 80-10m EFHW Power: 9ah Bioenno battery

  • Very nice! I didnt have any luck during field day but i did hear a ton of activity and met some new people. All in all it was a good weekend!

    • Thanks! I wanted to leave after two hours or so but since I wanted it to be valid for POTA submission, I decided to stay until I got 10 contacts. I also ended up having to use my 45 Watt amp as 10 watts just wasn’t cutting it.
