Weβre in Southwestern Wisconsin, enjoying the sites of the Driftless Area and putting two parks on the air. Join me for Parks on the Air activations of Tower Hill State Park (POTA K-1478) and Governor Dodge State Park (POTA K-1451).
Southwestern Wisconsinβs driftless area is known for its ancient geological landscape. Sandstone bluffs and deep river valleys carved over eons. The glaciers left this area generally untouched and these cambrian era rocks hold the secrets of time. Mining was an important industry in the region, drawing immigrants to the new territory. Tower Hill State Park encompasses the boom and bust of those lead mining days.
Big Bay State Park (POTA K-1439) and Big Bay Sand Spit and Bog (POTA K-4244) are two little activated entities located on Madeline Island on Lake Superiorβs Chequamegon Bay. Itβs always a pleasure to put these parks on the air when we take our annual trip to βthe islandβ. For this trip I operate exclusively from the shores of Gitchee Gumee.
As a bonus, patrons can view the full, unedited phone contacts for this Parks on the Air activation. Visit my page on Patreon for details: https://www.patreon.com/kb9vbrantennas
I do return QSL, if you made a contact with me and would like a QSL, please send me one. Return postage not necessary, but always appreciated. As they say, KB9VBR is βgood in the book.β
