CW POTA activation from US-12397. This is the first time I've used a CW bug for an activation.

This is a 20m CW Bug POTA activation from Berggren-Young WMA:US-12397. It was a mostly overcast day around 70 degrees f with wind around 10mph. This WMA is my closest POTA park at only 9 miles from home. I intended this to be a shorter than normal activation as I wanted to try using a CW bug for the first time (for a POTA activation). I didn't know how long my stamina would last manually keying everything. It turned out to be easier than expected and we made 42 contacts. I need to secure the bug a little better as it started slipping around, but overall it went better than I hoped. This is exactly where I was: https://w3w.co/descriptive.flinches.s...
