N4MQU and WJ3H
This is a little gem of a park in Central Virginia off of I-64. This was my first activation of this park and was WJ3H’s first activation! It was tough getting contacts but we eventually achieved our activation. One tip leave your throw line attached to the antenna insulator just in case the antenna gets tangled up in the tree. It saved the antenna. I was in my way home from Virginia and Joe WJ3H expressed an interest in learning about how POTA works.
