Here we are, 5 Feb 2025 and we are expecting the arrival of an ice storm tonight. Since the weather outlook for tomorrow is so dismal, SWMBO and I went out to Big Springs State Park US-4355 and did an activation. Under gray and sullen skies we set up and began on 40M. The band conditions were not optimal and after 5 contacts we moved to 17M. Conditions were better and we totaled out at 23 contacts, making this a bonafide activation and my 20th activation for this park. I am still plugging away at my kilo (working 1000 contacts from a single park) at this park but progress is progress. There were no birds around which is an indication that they are denned up to wait out the weather. When we finished and packed up we took a drive up Hemlock Road which is a nice venture. The road was icy in spots but not enough to be miserable. Well, I am going to drink some coffee and relax. As always, namaste kiddoes!
