March 2023 POTA Activation

From PBARC

PBARC had a Parks on the Air (POTA) activation at Crissey Field State Recreation Site (just north of the Oregon-California border, across Highway 101 from Del-Cur Supply) on Saturday, March 25, 2023 starting at 10 AM.

We used the club's call sign, W7BKG, for this event, rather than personal call signs. Each park included in POTA has a unique "reference" number. Crissey Field is K-9535. This reference number was included in each contact, except on FT8 and FT4.

Thanks

  • Oregon State Parks, for allowing us to use the park
  • Brookings Fred Meyer, for lending us the canopies to keep us and our equipment dry
  • Stu KE6NCU for coordinating the event
  • Everyone who came, and everyone we contacted on the air!
