I activated former home park NC K-3854 Flower Hill State Nature Preserve Wednesday and achieved the Kilo award with 31 activations and a lot learned.

The activation started out with the new hamsticks on 15 and 40 but decided to switch to the MFJ Modified Endfed.  Thanks to k0BRV for the school contact with Belleview R-3 Amateur Radio Club
