POTA NIGHTMARE: Fighting 3 Sources of RFI at Once - Epic Fail or Epic Win?

After completing my Parks On The Air (POTA) activation at Chippokes Planation State Park on Saturday, August 09, 2025, I headed over to US-3989 Hog Island Wildlife Management Area for another activation. I did not know everything that would be waiting for me when I got there. Watch the video and see what happened on that day. Thank you to the all of the hunters and fellow activators for the contacts!
