CW LAKE POTA Activation on our G90 | Wind and Pile-ups | Straight Key Morse Code

Pile-ups and 61 contacts! It was chilly and windy, but also a beautiful location right on the lake. Being at a campground we pulled out the G90, a little more power, and the hunters just kept coming. So much fun to get familiar calls as well as a lot of new to us contacts. Special thanks to POTA Power and Junie (N1DUC) for letting us use your clip of our Park-to-Park contact in the morning with Junie, Mochie, and Julie!
