Band Jumping POTA Activation

The amateur radio bands can be interesting, based upon what you might hear on the air or how it's influenced by space weather. If one band isn't behaving nicely, there are others to try out. And that's what I did on Sunday, March 09 2025, while at US-7648 the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Conservation Area at Biddle Point for another Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation. Where did I go? What happened? Watch the video 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.
