Meet our new dog! POTA with PERCY at Castlewood State Park

First POTA ever! Me, my wife Jesten, and our new pupperino Percy go to Castlewood State Park near St. Louis, MO (K-1751) hike the Rivercrest trail and activate a park bench under intense mower and barking dog QRM, using the (frankensteined) DX Idiot and the QRPGuys Tri-Band Vertical Antenna we made last week.

Also say hi to Percy! ???? The newest member of the Mann Fam.
