CWT Sprint from Potter Place
August 2016
This afternoon Judy and I rode our bikes to the old railroad station
at
Potter Place. I operated about 20 minutes and worked 8 stations on
20 meters.
We started in Andover and rode about 2.5 miles to the northwest. It
was a gorgeous
day. We arrived after about 20 minutes and I tossed a wire over an
oak tree above
the picnic table. I set up the KX3. The CWT Sprint was in full swing
and stations
were strong. The exchange is simple: name and CWOPS number. Here's
my log
transcribed from the paper notebook:

After 20 minutes I packed up and we rode back. The air was
delightful. We stopped by the covered
bridge across the Blackwater River and Judy took a quick photo.
