Due to forecast of 40% rain for tomorrow (Oct 7), this event is delayed to Sunday, Oct 8. The start time is 10 am at the Washington Crossing State Park, NJ side, down by the Delaware River. Reminder to bring a bag lunch.
After participating operators have completed a minimum of 10 qsos (go for 12-15 qsos) for activation, we will move our operations across the river into PA. Proceed straight on General Washington Memorial Blvd 5 blocks then turn right into General Stark Road parking lot. We will setup our second Operations at the picnic tables on the left side of the lot.

Subject: 5th POTA Event details: AKA: "Become ham POTA Warthogs!!!"
Our 5th POTA event will be October 7th, 9 am to 1 pm at Washington Crossing State Park, down by the Delaware River. It is a 3-fer location (merging the Washington Crossing State Park (K-1634), the Lower Delaware National Wild and Scenic Park (K-0684), and the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park (K1613)).
Bring a bag lunch and beverage.
After we all have activated the 3-fer, we will pack up and cross over to the PA side, We'll have a picnic lunch at the Washington Crossing State Historical Park (K-6432) and the overlap with the Delaware Canal State Park (K-1347). We'll re-establish our POTA stations and activate these 2 parks. BTW: The Restrooms on the PA side are nicer than on the NJ side, IMO.
If we successully activate both locations, you can upload your qso adi files to POTA and receive a Warthog Certificate for 5 park activations in a single UTC day (woohoo!).
