Yesterday I did yet another POTA activation. The bands have been not cooperating over the few days, and I was getting cabin fever not having decent conditions.
As it was a "Support Your Park" weekend, I really wanted to get out and do a very quick park activation, and lucky for me the propagation numbers improved just in time: SFI=122, SN=78, A Index=8, and the K Index=2. Those numbers are a vast improvement on what we have had over the past week.
The bands were very busy as we had the POTA event, the Ontario and Michigan QSO Parties, and on Sunday we also had the first ever Quebec QSO Party. It was very difficult to find an open frequency to start calling on.
I spent some time on 20m, and then moved to 40m. The map below is interesting because you can clearly see the contacts made on each band without even tagging them.
