Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest POTA US-4499

Posted onAuthorrvscrivener

We stayed at Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest for a quick overnight stop when heading south from Glacier National Park.

I put a 9:1 UNUN to a 72 foot random wire in a tree with my throw weight and activated POTA Park US-4499 with 22 total contacts on FT-8.

I even made contact with my brother back in SW Missouri on the 20m band. Not too bad for only running 10 watts for the whole activation.

Starlink worked great at the campsite.

Running 10w. Contact with my brother in Missouri.

You can barely see the 72 foot wire heading to the tree.
