After a few months of listening intently, I finally made my very first contacts on the radio tonight! The first was with a Parks On The Air activator in upstate New York on 20 meters, then I checked in to the Volusia County Traffic Net on 2 meters. I'm learning something new every day and looking forward to making many more contacts! It's very reassuring to know that I'll still have communications available when I'm fishing and camping in places without cellular service. . #hamradio #AmateurRadio #HFradio #vhfuhf #emcomm #radiooperator #backcountrycommunication #emergencycommunication #POTA #VolusiaCoTrafficNet #KO4UTH #FLOutdoors #backcountryflyfishing #backcountrycamping #boondocking #TheSuburbanAngler
