5 5 President s Corner September 2018 The inaugural Wisconsin Parks on the Air is under our belt! Congrats to the committee for putting this together. So many things to talk about all good. After looking at the Park sign up sheet on the website, the XYL and I chose a direction to head in and 2 or 3 parks to operate from. We ended up operating from PBSF and KASP. In addition to KB9JGW, I had KB9JGX for the ride along. Fun fact about being on the shores of Lake Michigan is that my phone kept switching to Eastern Time Zone which made the logging awkward. I ve already marked September 21, 2019 on the calendar for WIPOTA 2. October brings us The St. Joe s Walk at Bridgewood on October 13, in Neenah and this means that the HamFest / Swapfest is just around the corner for November for now, Bernie N9YMC
