I woke up EARLY for Amazing Morning Contacts! 40 & 20 Meters!

Some people say that if you wake up early in the morning & get out on the air, that you can make great contacts. And that's what I did on Sunday, July 13, 2025 during my Parks On The Air (POTA) activation at US-1737 Fort DuPont State Park @DelawareStateParks17 in Delaware City, Delaware. Some contacts were so amazing I'm not going to spoil it for you! Thank you to the all of the hunters and fellow activators for the contacts! Search for videos of your contacts at https://ve2zdx.com/toolkit/youtube/videos/K3JRZ 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.
