This was a special one for me. The last I tried to activate the Marshlands Conservation Area I had an equipment malfunction and as such it was a “Failed Activation”.

Today I headed out to get the one that got away.

I set up (red dot on the map) and operated with my FT891 set at 30w , 40m EFHF and proceeded to give out contacts….

In one hour I had managed to make 23 contacts in Ontario, and the Eastern Parts of the USA.

In the “learning part” of my activation I still have to find a way to carry more stuff and also make the kit lighter… It was a 4 km walk there and back (thats almost 2.5 miles to those of you south of the border) and to be honest I was really glad to get home and get my feet up.

I mentioned a few posts back about using some sort of trailer to carry the kit and today’s effort reinforces that thought….

Anyway I did have fun…. and if I worked you I hope you had fun as well….. If you don’t see our QSO today in your Hunters Log let me know and I’ll try to figure out why not…
