On July 18th, the OVH had a club POTA activation at Conway Robinson State Forest, located in Prince William County, VA. We also invited members from the Heritage Hunt club and two of them came.
We had two stations running. The first station was John, KG4NXT, with an end fed, half wave antenna in the trees using Lithium battery power. The second station was George, K4GVT, who ran his portable Delta Loop antenna, which was powered by both battery and solar cells.
This was George’s first activation and it was successful with 13 contacts. John also successfully activated with 20 contacts.
In addition to the operating, there was also some socializing, which was nice. Theresa, KG4TVM, brought coffee and donuts. The OVH members attending were George, K4GVT; James, KQ4CAX; Al, KB4BHB; Theresa, KG4TVM; Jerry, KR4EZZ; Sean Duvall and John, KG4NXT. The Heritage Hunt members attending were Don, W2SBI and Bob, KM4IAJ.
Big Thanks to Theresa for thinking this up and organizing it.
