Where Did Mr. DX Go? Quick 20 Contacts on a WARC Band!

After waiting most of the day for an important delivery, which eventually caused a change of plans, on Saturday, January 18, 2025, I headed out to US-7648 the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Conservation Area at Biddle Point for another Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation. I found myself on 17m and got a nice surprise while on the air. Watch the video to see what happened. Thank you to the all of the hunters and fellow activators for the contacts! 🔐 DECODE the RED secret word in the video and WIN A PRIZE! 🎁 RULES: 1) There have been hints in every video of mine to what language the secret word is in. 2) Email me (I'm good on QRZ.com) with YOUR answer. 3) There is only ONE WEEK from the video's premiere date to email me the correct secret word and win. 4) The FIRST email I receive with the correct answer wins. 5) AGAIN, you have ONLY ONE WEEK to win. Each contest ends AFTER 1 week after the video premieres. 6) You can only win once. 7) Not following the above rules disqualifies your entry. 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.
