I activated Lums Pond State Park, US-1741, on the March 15 (the Ides of March), 2026 where I document contacting the same DX entities on both the 10m and 15m bands. This activation provides irrefutable evidence that putting RF in the air is the only real test. These contacts stand as the technical record for this 8-bit proof of contact documentation. 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.
