KJ6ER POTA Performer on Fire 🔥 | 2-Fer CW @ US-2801 & US-8640 (20m–15m)

🎯 POTA fun in northwest Oklahoma!
This activation turned into a fantastic CW run using the KJ6ER POTA Performer operating a 2-fer at US-2801 Roman Nose State Park and US-8640 Lake Watonga State Fishing Lake.

The bands were wide open on 20m, 17m, and 15m, and the contacts came fast. I logged 99 CW QSOs before the camera battery gave up—missing the final 15 QSOs, but every one of the first 99 was a blast. 😄
Every POTA Day is a Great Day!
