Friends,
Graham, N4GJS/G4NMD, and I will be doing a POTA outing on Saturday, August 2, starting at 2:30 pm at BARC’s usual POTA spot, Christian Herter Park in Allston, US-8405. Graham is visiting from the UK and will be around Boston until the middle of next month, and expects to return frequently in the future.
We’ll be at our usual spot, to the northwest of the main parking area (labelled “Christian Park Parking” on Google Maps). For pedestrians, the nearest crossing of Soldiers Field Road is the footbridge at Telford Street. Talkaround will be on the BARC simplex frequency, 147.420 MHz. If you are without a radio, my cell is 857-334-8136.
The area can be noisy, so bring headphones or earbuds. If you are a Technician and want to operate, let me know, and I’ll make sure we can put you on SSB on 10 meters. If you are planning to operate and have not yet signed up for the POTA program, you can sign up at https://parksontheair.com. If you do operate, please plan on submitting your logs as a courtesy to hunters.
It looks like the weather will be beautiful, though this being New England, that may change. After the activation, a group of us will probably head out to the Night Shift Beer Garden for a post-QRT beverage.
