Last weekend I was able to succesfully activate Waldheide Recreation 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:
