Was in a horrible funk this morning and decided to take a 1/2 day. Went to the outskirts of Marsh Creek State Park to try my first activation. Brought my x6100 bag, a ground spike, 17′ telescopic whip and a couple speaker wire radials. Took about 45 minutes to get 22 contacts. The pileups were crazy! Fun time and I’m sure I’ll be doing it again with different parks and different antennas!
