Great weather and good conditions, which means I’m spending the evening at Wolf Trap! Despite the relatively warm weather, the ground was frozen solid. Staking the antenna was a struggle, so I ended up setting the stake in the snow. It was a bit precarious, but worked out. Fun activation, extra thanks to the P2P contacts:

• Wilson NT5AT at the US-3051 Ray Roberts Lake State Park
• Ken AA5CF at the US-3059 Tyler State Park
