POTA, Parks on the Air Activation on 4/1/24 at US-1148, Estero Bluffs State Park Setup and Breakdown

What's happening YouTube? I apologize in advance for the terrible wind noise at the beginning of the video. This is from my Parks On The Air, POTA, Activation at Estero Bluffs State Park in Cayucos, CA near the Central Coast on April 1st 2024. It's mostly a sped up video of my setup and breakdown. I include my first QSO of the day. I was wearing headphones so you can't hear the other side. The Xiegu build in speaker is terrible so I have to wear the cans to hear. I made 30 QSO this day. It's usually a slow do running QRP. I was running the Xiegu with a Bioenno 3 amp hour battery so I was getting 10 watts from the radio. I was using a TennTennas EFHW 40-10. I use a WIMO 10 Meter or 32'8" mast with a slopper config to my camera Tripod at the radio. This is my favorite park to operate POTA from. I have 42 activations from here with over 2,200 QSOs. Hope to hear you on the air. 73 from W6OBB
