POTA US-3407 Benicia State Recreation Area

Benicia SRA is beautiful after some rain. There's also little parking lots along the waterfront trail that give you really close access to picnic benches.

This would have been one of my more frequented spots if it hadn't been on the other side of a very busy bridge.

The partially-connected 891 go-box setup worked great! Setup and breakdown took a couple of minutes, once the antenna was squared.

Speaking of the antenna, I really need to get off my rear end and get that multiband project done. Adjusting the whip every time was not the most convenient thing. 10m didn't play well either. It might be the counterpoise or some weirdness with the whip and how close it is to the truck :shrug:

FT891 @ 100W; 1/4 wave vertical; N0SA SP4

35 QSOs in 1hr 39min, 10-20m band sweep

DX callsigns, with numbers in more than one place, are brain boilers.

Also, thank you David in Portugal for hanging in there to complete a 22n QSO :)
