Culps Hill Finally!

Today SWMBO and I were able to make it to Culps Hill at Gettysburg US-0027 with no road blocks and no mowers. We did find that they have marked the parking spaces adjacent to the 7th Indiana monument as handicap spaces but other than that, things are ok. We got set up and were able to make 33 contacts in about 1/2 hour of operating time all on 40 meters. The band was in good shape. We worked 4 park-to-park stations of which 2 were 2-fers so it was a good day. The weather was nice and the cloud cover burned off to reveal the sun. It didn’t get too hot, either. We did pause during out activation as a tour group moved right next to us and the guide did a presentation to them. This took about 20 minutes. I didn’t want to bother them so I went radio-silent until they left. All in all, the day went well. Until next time, namaste, kids.
