I packed up my portable rig, drove to Hibou Conservation Area and spent about an hour operating by the lake this afternoon. The waves were splashing up onto the shore right in front of me. I only made a couple of contacts; Ted in Delaware and another Ted in New Jersey, both SKCC (Straight Key Century Club) members, but it was a great outing.
Rig: Yaesu FT-891 running 35W, powered by two 7AH Sealed Lead Acid batteries
Antenna: MFJ-1979 telescopic vertical with homebrew loading coil for 40m
Mode: CW - straight key
Beautiful place, beautiful day. I love this hobby!
