POTA Activation 8/8/2026

Good evening, everyone!

For those who have not had the chance to meet me yet, I’m KF5WZD, Chris Carter. I appreciate Mr. Terry giving me the opportunity to share occasional updates here and let everyone know what I’m up to on the air.

Since earning my General license, I’ve really enjoyed getting out and working POTA activations. Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll be activating Columbus Lake, US-7129, starting at 15:00 local time. I’ll stay out there as long as I can — or until the mosquitoes decide otherwise!

If you would like to follow along with the activation, you can find my spot and activity information on POTA.app.

I hope to hear some familiar calls on the air. If you happen to be out and about, feel free to stop by, say hello, and chat for a while. Everyone is welcome!

I’m hoping to make this a regular Sunday afternoon activity and look forward to sharing more adventures with the local ham community.

Questions, comments, or just want to talk radio? Feel free to reach out to me anytime. You can find me on the air as KF5WZD. I regularly monitor our local repeater, 146.625, as well as the 2-meter calling frequency, 146.520 simplex.

73,
KF5WZD

Does anyone know of anyone having FIELD DAY activities nearl Brooksville, MS? There is someone near there that is interested in HAM Radio and would like see what it is like. The closest known place that is doing FIELD DAY is in Lucedale which is about 3.5 hours from his QTH.

If you know of somewhere closer please let me know.
