QRP POTA at a small town park with 3 DX contacts!

That was a fun but tough one! That was probably the hardest POTA we've had yet. We almost gave up twice, but glad we didn't because we had 4 countries, if you include the US! We were at a beautiful Park in Athens Alabama along the trail of tears. With the sun setting in the background and a cute little pond, we were also surrounded by historic buildings in this neat little town. We were QRP. We started on the CFT1 and then switched to the qcx mini, just trying to roll the dice for a little bit more luck. The antenna was a K6ARK EFHW. We must have gotten it since we got several of y'all from so far away! Operator: N4FFF Reference: US-3791 Grid: EM66gu Date: 2025-05-18 Total QSOs: 11 Contacts by Distance ------------------- 1.
