Double Eagle's Nest POTA at Watson Mill Bridge State Park
Several Athens Radio Club members joined Jess N4JAH and Claude AC4SH as they did a joint Parks on the Air (POTA) activation of US-2207 Watson Mill Bridge State Park. They braved the chilly morning temps on Saturday Dec. 7th to make local and distant contacts totaling 50 QSO’s each.
POTA is a fascinating Ham Radio activity where operators setup portable stations in parks and make radio contacts with other Hams, some at home or in other parks. Jess introduced Claude to POTA in 2020 and they both have been very busy activating parks and encouraging others to join in the fun.
The Log Cabins at Watson Mill Bridge State Park were the backdrop of their 100th POTA activation, and will be the location for the club’s W4G Winter Field Day event. Sign up here.
