When Hunters Don't Listen to POTA Activators

For park number 2 on my trip down to Virginia on Friday, November 08, 2024, I stopped at US-9892 St. Jones (National) Reserve @delawarednrec southeast of Dover, Delaware for another quick Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation before getting back on the road. Watch the video to see what happened. 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.
