[MohawkARC] QRP from Mt. Wachusett

[Erich Kaiser]

Sorry the hear that Doug,

I did some digging. They would put ham radio into 'exceeding common use' of the park. 
Next time wear cammo. 

----------- from the DCR website ----------
A Special Event Permit is needed when the use or activity exceeds, in any way, the common use of DCR parklands.  These include and are not limited to events such as: sporting activities and tournaments, concerts, charity walks and the like. More information

I explained that it was a ham radio and I had an amateur radio license from the FCC, but he said that didn't matter I wasn't allowed to use my radio.  I was going to stop by the visitor's center on my way out to find out details, but being Columbus Day it was busy, and I didn't want to bother them.  Just wondering what people know about this?  Have you heard of people being kicked out for ham radio before?  I was a little shocked...
