CQWWDX multi operation @ W1AN the last weekend of this month. NPOTA can be another weekend. (my personal opinion) K1DM

Gents,
We have talked about doing another NPS Centennial activation on a weekend and at 8-Mile Nat’l Park in CT (not mutually inclusive).
Do we want to go ahead with another NPOTA effort or focus on CQWW SSB at W1AN or do both!?

Subject: Re: NPOTA Do-over?Hi James,
I just returned from Yellowstone Park where my neighbor, Buddy K1CYQ and I activated that park for several days. We made over 500 QSOs.
We were thinking about activating Roger Williams Memorial National Park, possibly this week. Buddy has a PAC-12 antenna and KX-3 radio and can operate from his car very easily.
John, W1XX said that you have the head ranger’s name and phone number. Should I call to make arrangements beforehand?
Thanks, Bob W1YRC

Gentlemen,
To accommodate our weekend warriors, let’s try for any time that works for most this weekend or next. We had already talked about the weekend of the 22nd (the weekend before CQWWDX SSB).
Roger Williams is OK; but Dr. Mike will have to call the Assistant Superintendent of the Roger Williams Memorial National Park. Which is not a bad thing; she was really pleasant and sounded very reasonable. But she might need a form checked off.
8 mile river sounds equally doable. Probably a lot less hassle, eh.

Subject: RE: NPOTA Do-over?All: 8 mile river = WR15…I missed spotting this one and it looks like a pretty good bet at 27/928 activations/QSOs…sounds like a lot but pretty much near the bottom of the list of activations. When? — John, W1XX

Subject: Re: NPOTA Do-over?I will check Eight-mile river in the morning. It’s very near my QTH (and the QTH of W1DX/R. I will look specifically near the intersection of the river and Route 82. All we need is a wide spot in the road on the river bank! K1DM

Weekends anybody?
Check out other locations. MA, RI, CT too. Eight mile river in CT should be an easy one.

Any chance for a re-do on a weekend?
