[K3CAL] CARA POTA

[KB3WFV]

 Jason, 

Thanks for the support Sunday. Looking forward to meeting you again. First year out with POTA for the club. As things find a rhythm, the events could be expanded to parks in other counties, encouraging more people to join amateur radio.

Subject: Re: [K3CAL] CARA POTA I saw you had Parkers Creek on for June 7 or 8. I won't be able to join on the 7th as my band has a gig then, but I may be able to Join you on Sunday the 8th. Parkers creek aint too much of a park, probably not that for a group, but I am sure it can work.  What locations were you thinking of on Parkers Creek? There are several areas/options?

Scott, 

Thank you, and thanks to Jason as well. It was a true pleasure to meet a fellow ham who shares the enthusiasm and passion for the hobby. Yes, Lisa has some photo's, so does Shawn N3AE. I will get something together hopefully this week to at least the Facebook page, and maybe the website.

Our website is ww.k3cal.club . The schedule of events is located at: https://www.k3cal.club/events.html . The next two activations are scheduled for:

May 3 or 4th - Jefferson Patterson Park
June 7 or 8th - Parker’s Creek WMA

I will ask Andy WA4BRX and the rest of the CARA POTA team to pin down the exact dates and times as soon as possible. As soon as I know for sure, I will pass it along.

You and Jason are welcomed any time at any event. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Thanks so much.  It was a pleasure to be there with such a great and fun group of people. I told Brian, even though I am a good way away from your club, I'll probably join and support you guys as much as I can. I won't be able to make your next outing in Mary, but June would would be possible. I need to date. I looked at your facebook page but did not see that event posted.
Here are a few pics I took today, I am hoping someone else, maybe Brian's wife got some better pics.
Cheers all, W3GTR73  or as we say in QRP land on CW, 72

Both did a great job showing us the ins and outs that go along with a field activation. The challenge coins from Jason were a hit in my book and Jason was on point with his experience and ideas. Was also good to get club members together in a format other then a meeting. If you missed today, put the next one on your calendar. Should be a good time.
