Activated POTA US-1946, Delaware State Park, for today's Ohio State Parks on the Air event. Used my Elecraft KH1 radio at 5 watts into a 40 meter end-fed half wave antenna. Afterwards I visited the folks of the Union County amateur radio club at their activation site, US-1933, Alum Creek State Park.

It was a beautiful morning, so after I returned from the gym, I set up a portable antenna and made a few ham radio contacts. #amateurradio #hamradio

Here are the first 3 travel journal paintings I've done based on our recent trip to mainland Spain and Mallorca to see the total solar eclipse. The first two are from Madrid, and the third is from Cuenca.
