October 13, 2025, Oakville Harbour Historic Site (CA-6319) and Great Lakes Waterfront Trail (CA-6003)

A quick activation at Oakville Harbour. Fall is really in full force, and you can tell there won't be that many more outdoor activations in the future!

I set up with the QRP Guys Random Wire Antenna and got a branch right above the picnic table.

Next to the picnic table there was a very colorful maple.

The bands were fairly good. I had tracked the Kp Index all morning, and waited until it fell below 3. I got 16 QSOs on 20m, and a single QSO on 15m in Florida.
