[W2CRA] Great POTA Turnout today, 4/18/26

[Mike Brown]

Thank you to Rob N2UP for setting up today’s POTA gathering at Round Valley West Picnic area.

We had a great turnout:
Mike B KD2ZZA
Rob Z N2UP
Rob T WA2RT
Bob S N2MIF
Sue C KA2TKI
Jamie R WB2PUN
Tony P W2HWW
Father Bill T W2BWL
Steve K KD2OTK
Carol N KD2OTE

Weather was cold 70F (remember I just returned from Florida where 80s is the norm).  HF conditions were very challenging with the Earth reeling from a solar induced geo-storm and a S2-S3 noise level on the 20 M HF band for my station.

As far as I know, everyone who was on radio had their activations completed.  

There is time left to participate in the Support Your Parks weekend quarterly POTA event either as an Activator or Hunter or both.   

It is also WARD 2026 (World Amateur Radio Day) today.
