After visiting the royal Palazzina di Caccia dl Stupinigi, one of Piedmont's most prestigious Savoy Residences, today I made a quick POTA activation from IT-0733, park of Stupinigi Natura 2000, as IK1IYU/P on 20 meters CW, 10 Watt and my vertical antenna.

Today nice POTA activation as IK1IYU/P from IT-0758 Sacro Monte di Crea World Heritage Site, on 20 meters CW, 10 watt and vertical antenna.

[Piero Forno @ik1iyu]

1500 parks! Thanks to all activators!

[Piero Forno @ik1iyu]

In January I discovered the #POTA program as hunter, quickly catching the Parks activator bug, despite limited free time. 8 months later I've reached the 1000 parks milestone. Satisfaction comes from outdoor activity/QRP power/portable antennas, often resulting in surprising QSO.

@F5VMJ You have only to improve the FT8 timing...today was difficult for me to follow your DT, but your signal is very good.

[Piero Forno @ik1iyu]

@F5VMJ Yeah...and I had to copy your interface design to get active on FT8, never before, and follow your activations! 🤣 Thanks for the inspiration and all the QSOs!

[Piero Forno @ik1iyu]

@DTelegrafo @F5VMJ Been there, done that, survived😄

[Piero Forno @ik1iyu]

@F5VMJ Thank you very much!

[Piero Forno @ik1iyu]

@F5VMJ Thanks Paul, but why LOTW is complaining about JI39GX as INVALID?

[Piero Forno @ik1iyu]

TNX #QSL !
