Good Evening,

There have been requests to have a POTA activation in the northern end of
the county. We are bringing the POTA fun to Kings Landing Park this Sunday
at 10:00AM. The plan is to use the picnic tables by the pool parking lot.
This will be an activation of the Star Spangled Banner National Historic
Trail, US-4581.

“War vessels passed by here in 1814. The Chesapeake Flotilla, consisting of
50- and 75-foot gun barges, sought safety in shallow waters upstream.
British ships hotly pursued, and Americans eventually scuttled the flotilla
to keep it from enemy hands. The British conducted raids June 15-17 upriver
at Lower Marlboro and Magruders Landing, and downriver at Hollands Cliffs.
For more information on the trail can be found here:
https://www.nps.gov/stsp/index.htm “

 I have attached a picture of the location and a few maps. Talk in will be
on 146.580 when you get close to the park.

While I plan to bring my usual POTA gear, this is an opportunity to test
out your gear and get on the air! I have band pass filters, so we can set
up multiple stations simultaneously.

Hope to see you there!

73 and POTA on,

Andy WA4BRX
