    BI>> Just got connected, and was wondering if any of you are POTA operators?

   Hahahah...that's awesome. Several years ago there was a QRP contest called   
   "Run For the Border", yup, you had to be operating from a Taco Bell parking   
   lot. There were over 100 logs turned in! Just proves all most hams need for a   
   road trip and outdoors operation, is an excuse, no matter how silly it is.   
      
   We used to have a diner near here called "The Knuckle Sandwich"...they had a   
   1950's rock n roll motif, and served all kinds of delicious fried foods.  Some   
   of the guys would meet there and call "The Knuckle Net" on the local   
   repeater.  It always brought more hams to the "table" so to speak.   
      
   I write up my POTA adventures and put them on my website, if you ever want to   
   take a look just go to https://kb9bvn.net
