After Field Day the Bands Are Still Alive with Activity

With Field Day 2025 coming to an end on the afternoon of Sunday, June 29, 2025, I had time to get out for another Parks On The Air (POTA) activation. With the Sun out causing high temperatures I decided to go to US-1743 White Clay Creek State Park @DelawareStateParks17 and US-0898 White Clay Creek National Wild & Scenic River @NationalParkService for the nice cooler shade. I didn't know what the bands were like, but I wanted to find out! Thank you to the all of the hunters and fellow activators for the contacts! ALL amateur radio operators world-wide need to know the DX CODE OF CONDUCT. It was meant for DX contacts, but it really applies to ALL aspects of amateur radio (DXing, contesting, POTA, SOTA, Field Day, special events, etc...). DON'T BE AN ALPHA HOTEL! http://dx-code.com.
