Yesterday I activated US-3848 Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve 6 SSB 6 CW in 39 minutes used the 20 meter hamtenna. After the activation I participated in the FCVET amateur radio exams in Wendell, NC we had our biggest number of applicants (14) to date for that location. Thanks to all those who volunteers to be an examiner.

Thanks to all the hunters and P2P. Not my best antenna installation but I made the activation. Nice not go need Tuner for 10, 17, 20, 40. Didn’t try 75.
Thanks to the astronomers and the visitors for coming to the September 2024 gathering. We got to see the moon and M13. The International Space Station even flew over the square.

According to Wiki-Sky The Index Catalogue (IC) —also known as the Index Catalogue of Nebulae, the Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars, IC I, or IC II— is a catalogue of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters that serves as a supplement to the New General Catalogue. It was first published in 1895, and has been expanded to list more than 5,000 objects, known as the IC objects.
Here are three images I made
