- Two POTA activations on October 1, 2024 - Griffin Ridge Wildlife Management Area (US-3752) and Morgan Lake Wildlife Management Area (US-9791). Teri KO4WFP also discusses the pros and cons of activating wildlife management areas in the state of Georgia. There are pile-ups at the beginning of the activation so you can hear how Teri works through them. For QSO maps, see my article on QRPer.com.

That looks like a whoop! Nice!
Thanks Saurabh!
Good job Madame! 👏
Thank you, Val. Wow - I checked out your QRZ page and TH-cam channel. That is some serious nomad radio and amazing activating you've done. Kudos to you!
@@potababe
Thank you.
I'm a just ordinary operator!
I wish you enjoy with radio!
Watching you making progress in telegraphy gives me strength and faith that I'll be able to learn working CW too.❤
Every CW op begins at ground zero since no one is born inherently knowing the code (as far as I know). So yes, Karol, you CAN learn CW. The ops who are most successful are determined and a little bit fearless. The difficult part is learning it is okay if you make mistakes. And it really is because every CW op has made mistakes on their journey of learning the code. Thanks for your comment and keep having fun with CW!
Morning brilliant video today it was a great pleasure listing to you doing you cw transmitting,, looking forward to seeing you next time your out, take care of yourself stay safe 73
Thank you for the compliment, John. I hope to have more POTA videos in the near future. Keep having fun with CW!
Another excellent post with rich content. Welcome back, Daisy!
Excellent as usual enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it, JD. Thank you for the compliment.
Gefällt mir gut. 👍
German, danke für das Kompliment.
Danke für das tolle Video und CW-Telegrafen in der Praxis.73,de Jozef.OE1CJG.😊😊😊
Calm, cool, and collected during those pile ups...not fazed a bit. A lesson to learn. 73 de KJ4MZ
I wasn't that way during my first few CW-only POTA activations, Don. But the only way to learn how to manage pile-ups is to get on the air and get through them. What also helped me learn how to deal with pile-ups was being K3Y/4 op during SKCC's K3Y event in January. The more on-the-air experience we have, the better our CW and on-the-air skills grow. Thanks for your comment.
thanks, terrific job great video 73 from kb2uew
Thank you for the compliment, Alvaro.
Wow! Enjoy! Have porter fun! 73's G0HDA
Really impressed with your setup and your CW skills. Do you have a link to that leg board. Looks really useful.
Here is the link for the kneeboard. I use it at nearly every activation because I find my Helinox chair and it a better and more comfortable setup. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine. Thank you for your compliment. tufteln.com/products/knee-board-field-desk
thanks for the video! Could you consider showing the antenna setup portion of your videos? Always interested in those. I do have the MC-750. Really like it as a POTA antenna. 73 de AD0AA
I haven't done that much as I wasn't sure there would sufficient interest in seeing my antenna setup. Also, I want to keep the videos from being too lengthy. However, I will consider doing that in some future videos. Though I am mostly a wire antenna kind of gal, I agree that the Chelegance MC-750 is a good POTA antenna. It certainly worked well for these two activations. Thanks for your comment, Russ.
💥👏👏👏👍
If I ever get a chance to come down to GA we gotta do a joint activation
Buena actividad 👏🏻
73/72
👍👍👍👍👍
Was beginning to worry about Daisy until she finally rolled over! 😂 I judge GA WMA's by the number of insect bites I get. The fewer the bites the higher it's rating! 😁 But many do offer a quietness and solitude not found in developed parks. We use the same rig and touch paddle! N4NN
That is an interesting criteria for WMAs - insect bites. If that is the case, Griffin Ridge had a good rating as the insects mostly left me alone. Three ants did take it upon themselves to crawl up my shoe and bite me on the ankle during the activation. That is fire ants for ya. I agree with your comment about the quietness and solitude. The WMAs have become one of my favorite places to activate in Georgia. Thanks for your comment, Allen.
I was at Morgan Lake at the end of August.... I forgot bug spray... and wore short sleeves... Anyway the mosquitos flew away with one of my legs. -N9FZ
Nice work, you are excelent with electronic keyer.
73 de 9a3hp Zoran
Thank you for the compliment, Zoran. Using a paddle is sooo much easier than a mechnical key.
@@potababe yes Terry , electronic keyer make tings simple and easy. Mehanical bug is big chalenge.
I prefere straight key and electronic keyer(no iambic).
I never try bug. I hope so one day.
i hate that i missed you at the second park
Thanks for your comment, Chris. I just subscribed to your channel about Georgia Parks. Hopefully, we'll catch up with each other on the air in the near future!
Aww thanks. See ya later
What kind of sun shade are you using?
I used a Mountain Laurel Designs tent - the Trailstar. I purchased it because when hiking (for SOTA), one should have shelter with them in case of an emergency. The tent is ultra lightweight. I am sure there are tarps that would be less expensive, but I try to make good use of what equipment I have. Their website, in case you are interested, for the tent is mountainlaureldesigns.com/product/trailstar/
