On Friday, March 8, three women from the Ellsworth Amateur Wireless Association, Joan W1DLC, Barbara KC1SSY, and Marion N3OA, operated from the Fabbri Picnic Area in Acadia National Park as part of the International Women’s Day YL POTA Party. The team made 70 QSOs reaching as far as Poland, Italy, and Germany in DX, and in the states reaching Wisconsin, Colorado, Texas, and Florida. We used a Yaesu FT891, 25 watts, with a 40-20-15 meter end-fed half wave antenna. The weather, although chilly, was sunny and inspiring for early March. It was a memorable way to honor the achievements of women in amateur radio. #YL_POTA_PARTY
