Exploring the World of Portable Ham Radio Operating
One of the standout features of Prairie Creek Campground is its compatibility with ham radio operations. With its favorable location, free from the urban noise and interference, campers have the opportunity to set up their radio equipment and enjoy a little portable ham radio operating. My favorite mode these days is FT8. You don't need much to make a dozen or so contacts in this easy mode. In the early morning you can find me on 3.973 MHz LSB for the Breakfast Club net.
