This was an opportunistic operation near Albany, NY.
I was driving out to pick up my son from college, meeting him at a point halfway where a friend would drop him off, when the friend’s car got a flat tire. I stopped at a gas station, pulled out the POTA map on my phone and found the nearest park. This is why I always carry my “go bag” with me
It was already dark, but I had no problem setting up my POTA 20 mast with a quarter wave vertical and some radials, connected it to my FX-4CR and got 50 QSOs in 45 minutes. It was busy at first but 20m had pretty much closed down towards the end.
No photos because, well, I forgot, and it was dark anyways.
The club call had been granted earlier this same morning, so this was the very first operation using it. Someone even came back and asked for a confirmation because they could not find it on QRZ.
This is also the first park, first NY activation and first state activated using the call.
