Fun fun fun activating my home park Flower Hill State Nature Preserve for the 27th time. I made it to QSO 806. I had a short time before darkness fell. I decided to use my Chameleon Portable HF Antenna CHA HYBRID Micro and the Cha Spike Mount and IC-706MKG HF/VHF/UHF All Mode Transceiver. I have been getting Into the habit of hunting parks then I pick a frequency to call CQ. I also checked into the Virginia Fone Net of which I am a member on 75 meters then I decided to switch to 15 meters and call CQ. I was amazed at getting Idaho, California, Nevada, then I heard Japan answer my CQ. That was fun but a few minutes later I got my first Alaska POTA contact. Thanks to the hunters and P2P de n4mqu..
