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.
