[SJRA-Members] Successful POTA Activation Cape May AA2SD/R

[Scott D]

Thanks to all operators for activating Cape May Point last weekend. I was
able to make over (10) contacts on 6 Mtrs, and test my portable new mast
set up. I deployed  a Diamond HB9CV- 2  element 6 Mtr  beam. I also tested
a new aluminum military surplus masts that consist of 4 portable sections
which are pinned together, the total height was just over 17 feet. This
very lightweight and portable setup easily fit into the back compartment of
my Outback while broken down. I used a FT891 with 50 watts and no amplifier.

I also activated the park with HF on 20 and 7 Mtrs with 50 contacts during
Saturday and 35 contacts Sunday using a Yaesu ATAS120 screwdriver antenna.
This location is at Cape May Point in the back parking lot of the gift
shop, which is ideal for near the beach saltwater lift on HF. You can see
