Last weekend I was able to succesfully activate [Waldheide Recreation Park DA-0221](https://pota.app/#/park/DA-0221). This was my first POTA activation and also the first time this specific park has been activated. The following was my gear during the portable operation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Yaesu FT-817
|
||
|
|
* 3300mAh 3s LiPo battery
|
||
|
|
* modified mic with built in voice keyer (BX-184)
|
||
|
|
* self made 1/4 wave vertical antenna for 20m
|
||
|
|
* 7m Spiderbeam mini mast
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It took me 2,5h during suboptimal conditions to work the needed 10 stations with 5W in SSB. The following map shows the stations I was able to work:
