After stopping by at the SCCARC #wfd location, I drove to #US3574 Sunset Beach, a new park for me.
The location was a recommendation from one of the SCCARC members and a good location. However, initially I set up too far down the hill and used a new, untested mic for the FX-4CR. Apparently I put mic into overdrive and also competing with field day stations for space on the band made the activation rather slow and strenuous. Not to mention that W6/ in front of my call often leads to confusion.
