Third activation of 2025.
A sunny cold but pleasant day for a drive to Stoney Creek, 35km from my QTH.
The park was exceptionally noisy, sometimes a few dB over S9! I had not bothered with the noise blanker on the KX-2 before, but it helped quite a bit. It was, however, still not that pleasant an activation. But I guess it will make me more appreciative of a better POTA location with respect to QSB.
Here's a map of the 25 QSOs, all 20m CW, 5w using hamstick from the car.
