UPARC in the Park April 2025

On April 12, 2025, some members of UPARC got together to play radio at Honeymoon Island State Park. We activated Parks on the Air site US-1880 an attempted to reach our goal of 1,000 contacts for our W4AFC callsign. At least one of us was eager to get going as evidenced by a photo he sent.

I am not sure of the total count but would say at least a dozen people met up and there were at least five different stations setup. In the past UPARC has typically provided all of the equipment for a UPARC in the Park event. This time our President Ryan Rager AF4O decided that people would bring their own equipment and “run what ya brung”. I loved this idea as we got to see different antennas, radios, configurations and so one which is always helpful to new and experienced hams. Did I mention no mosquitos? What a blessing!

While the bands were far from ideal, contacts were made and pushed the club closer (942) to 1,000 POTA contacts for W4AFC. Below are some additional pictures from the event.
