On Saturday morning, five club members gathered at Cabin B3 of the Waterloo Recreation Area to operate a little POTA. It was a beautiful day, if a little on the chilly side. Hey, it’s October in Michigan, after all. It was nice and warm inside, though

The group operated several stations and modes, including phone, digital, and CW. Band conditions were very good, and we made lots of contacts. Personally, I made 25 CW contacts on 40 meters in 37 minutes before I took a coffee break.

Watch the club calendar for our next POTA outing and come join us. Michigan state parks are amazing, and it’s even more fun when you throw in ham radio.
