K2HRC at US-2953 Indian Mountain State Park TN

I am back again, this time in Tennessee; and this time with PICTURES!!! This week I made my way out of the freezing cold Ohio weather and down to a tropical 50 degree TN. It was a beautiful sunny day with out a cloud in the sky. So rather than passing by a perfectly good park on my way to FL, I decided to get an activation going.

Everything worked great. The radio, antenna the logging software (of course). But what didn’t work well was the OP. I always struggle with using a different call on CW. When I call CQ POTA in CW, I literally run muscle memory and continue with DE W8NI. Of course this time, it was K2HRC. What is even more messy was this OP kept wanting to tell people they were 599 OH, instead of TN!!! What a mess. I made a video of the activation and will be posting it to my YouTube channel in the next few days. So you can hear all the mistakes. hahaha.

But I got it done, and now we can mark TN off the books. Tomorrow, if all goes well, GA. And yes, I know the Jeep needs washed. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the operation! and the report!

And don’t bother washing the Jeep until you’re done with your road trip.
