Here’s what’s happening - in 2021, two operators ( N5HA, Kenneth Bailey & W9AV, Clint Sprott ) managed to work at least 1 park every UTC day. My goal for 2022 is to do the same, and to try and write a short post about the day’s first contact. If you want to play along, feel free - I’ll be sharing updates about it during the monthly POTA updates that I prepare for the various ham radio media outlets.

now that you’re in the know about the Baily-Sprott Challenge, here’s the scoop for today:

Bailey-Sprott Challenge Update

I cut it a little close today - not in time, but in quantity. Most days I make several contacts, just so that I have some insurance in case an activators busts my call, etc. today however, I was busy with the fire-place remodel and a couple other family things, so I made 1 and only 1 contact. As such, I’m really hoping that Jamie, W2GPR logged me error free when I contacted him at K-5382. :-)

Bailey-Sprott Challenge Status: 21 for 21.

In other news, I’ve started watching through Pirates of the Caribbean with our oldest - we watched the second one tonight (which is why it got so late before I wrote this post) and I think she’s officially hooked.
