[K3CAL] CARA POTA

[Andy Byzet]

Hey guys!

I there are several parking areas we can go with different options at each
location. The hunter parking at the end of Goldstein Rd has a lot of room
for verticals. The hunter parking at the end of Parker’s Creek Rd is quiet
with lots of tree options for wire antennas. There are a few other spots
but they may be harder for a group. We will need to bring a table and
chairs if that is preferred. I have either operated from the ground or on
the tailgate of the RAV4 there. There are plenty of options!

73,

Andy WA4BRX
