Good day everyone.  I want to thank all those that took part in 

The first Peterborough Amateur Radio POTA Party. 

It was a fantastic success to say the least. 

I had 7 members stop by during the activation, 

One even joined me and got 12 contacts in two parks, 

his very first activation. 

I worked 9 different bands with total of 136 contacts 

20 Park to Park contacts in the mix. 

Number it issues were uncovered a long way. 

At least 4 users had issues of moving their radios for duplex 

(Repeater mode) to simple on 146.580, one could not resolve the issue, 

while the other 3 spend a fair bit of time figuring it out. 

I found neat feature in Hamrs (logging software), makes life much easier 

when logging multiple parks going forward. 

I think everyone really enjoy the morning event. 

Let’s make it a weekly or by weekly event shall we. 

Some Photos  were taken, I do not have any of them as yet.
