So on Sunday, June 08, 2025, I made sure I charged up my battery and headed back out to US-7648 the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Conservation Area @delawarednrec at the Biddle Point trailhead to get my Kilo award (for making 1000 contacts at the entity). Sometimes during a Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation there's that one person that turns out to be a sad ham and tries to ruin people's fun, but thanks modern technology, that sad ham can be taken care of! Watch and see what happened on my final push for a Kilo award! 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.
