On 7/25/2020, K3MJN operated during the Simplex Net from the Welsh Mountain Nature Preserve. Approximate elevation 1070’ ASL. Operated with a Yaesu FT-2980 and the N9TAX Slin-Jim antenna.
Communications with all net control operators was possible at 30 watts transmission power and receive audio was very clear. Copied 90% of all check-ins direct.
Some notes about this location: cellular service is very spotty and the parking area closes at dusk. Closed means local police show up to chain the gates shut! Special thanks to the East Earl police department officer that accommodated my operating after dark.
