POTA Hat Trick

Today was a glorious weather day here in Rhode Island, so my wife and our
yellow lab piled into the van and headed out for three park activations
(Lynn and Jaclyn walk the park trails while I jabber on the air).Â* We wound
up at East Beach State Park (K-7865), then Kimball Wildlife Management Area
(K-7518), and finished the day at Burlingame State Park (K-2871).

All three activations went swimmingly with 20 or more contacts completed in
about 20-30 minutes.Â* The parks were only a few miles from each other.

Amazingly enough, three people managed to work me in all three parks,
earning themselves a RI-POTA Hat Trick:

I am indebted to everyone who works me during an activation, continuously
reaffirming that Amateur Radio is a wonderful hobby.Â* Being able to get
outside these past few months has saved my sanity.Â* So thanks to Jason
W3AAX and all the POTA administrators, and especially the regional
coordinators (a shout-out to my 4-area regional coordinator, Bill Deloach,
K4WP, who has processed all of my 30 logs).
