Interesting:
- Don, KC0DWZ answered my CQ on 15 meters. Don is an instructor at Long Island CW Club. That was good fun.
- Surprisingly 10 meters gave me two European contacts, DD1DL and F4ILH. I sure fumbled the copy. I had to ask for repeats several times with each. There is no way I was expecting a European contact this morning.

I spent several hours with family and dogs. Ryan and I experimented with various antennas and rigs. We enjoyed a nice lunch in the motorhome.

Hooray! My first activation
It was fun and challenging. I got out to the island by 9 am before it got too hot, and set up at a picnic shelter near Lady Finger Point. I configured the portable vertical antenna that I built recently for 20 meters. I'm still not a great CW operator, but I wanted to do POTA CW. After 7 contacts I was pretty wiped out from the stress of it all. I went to SSB for one contact, and then came back to CW for two more. With 10 contacts, I called it a day after working at it for an hour.
