Today I combined a trip to Niagara On The Lake to see my friend, Kevin, and to also to an activation. It was a fairly nice day, not too cold.

I made 51 QSOs, and 8 park-park. One DX station (Spain), and one from California, that is uncommon for 10w SSB.
| Antenna | Chelegance Vertical, tuned for 20m |
|---|---|
| Start Time (UTC) | 15:09 |
| Finish Time (UTC) | 16:13 |
| Total Time | 1:04 |
| Total QSOs | 51 |
| Park to Park | 8 |
| Largest distance QSO | Palencia, Spain, 5,885 km |
| Spanning distance between two most-distant QSOs | Sierra Madre, CA to Palencia, Spain: 9,174 km |
| Band | 20m |
| Mode | SSB |
| Power | 10W |
Here's a map of the QSOs.
Here's a picture of the commemorative plaque for the historic site.
The setup was easy, with a park bench.
After the POTA, I then met my friend Kevin, and also met his dog, Mycroft.
Mycroft is a wild animal, and vicious.
Never turn your back on such an animal -- they could eat you in a New York minute.
Mycroft was easy to befriend.
Kevin and Mycroft.
A fun day catching-up with old friends.
I was also able to earn a new POTA hunting award:
