This activation video was originally filmed on May 22, 2022 at Babcock State Park in West Virginia during a POTA camping weekend with Eric (WD8RIF) and Miles (KD8KNC). It's one of a very few that got lost in a rush of videos and I never published. For more detailsincluding links to the gear I usedcheck out the accompanying field report::
