Just received via email this nice QSL card from 8P6PE for our park2park contact on April 15, 2024, he was in park BB-0016 Rock Hall Freedom Village Monument and I was in park CA-5996 Dorchester Mill Pond Conservation Area.

Blue – parks activated / Yellow – parks to be activated

As of Monday, I have activated all but 3 of the parks in EN92.

Missed activating CA-6155, thought I had made 10 contacts but I was one short on the day.

Domestic situation restricts my operations very greatly this year, so it will be a while before I get the final 3 parks. In that 2 of them are in PA, that presents a very big challenge to overcome in getting them activated.

Rig used in all of these activations was a Kenwood TS-50, powered by a 20 amp LIPO battery into an MFJ-949E, and usually feeding my vintage hamsticks on the car. Some of the times I have used an EFHW and other times I have used a G5RV antenna.

Use what you got!!

The following image shows all of the POTA parks in my grid square EN92. There are 47 in total, 45 in Ontario and 2 in Pennsylvania.

Link to interactive map.

Yellow markers indicate parks to be activated as of September 27, 2023.

Blue markers indicate parks I have activated.

The software used to create the map is called EasyMapMaker

I purchased this utility wagon from Canadian Tire for use in my POTA activations. I hope to be able to load everything I need for an activation into the wagon, make it very handy to operate in a park when you are forced to walk in.
