I'm now youtube famous! Or, at least, my QRP signal can be heard for a 
moment on youtube. I made the log on the qrper.com blog today when 
Thomas visited US-2755: William B. Umstead State Park. I'm in the video at:

That day, 15 July, I activated four POTA parks in the Pinelands (and 
visited a fifth, but chose not to attempt another activation in the heat 
and bugs of the day). The QSO in question was made from US-8039: Forked 
River Mountain WMA. I've visited a lot of POTA entities this summer, and 
Forked River Mountain WMA was definitely the most difficult to 
locate/access so far.

I was operating a QRP-Labs QMX into an EFHW, with a pair of VK3IL 
pressure paddles for a key.

Thanks to GCARC for helping me get my ticket (again) late last year and 
to stand up a station and get on the air this year!
