I activate the same park pretty much every day. Chalco Hills SRA US-4011. Its less than five minutes from my house, and it’s a big park with lots of different areas where I can setup my station. I think hunters appreciate me being at the same park because they can quickly work up enough contacts to gain all 25 Repeat Offender Hunter awards (500 QSOs). I have pileups every day, and it’s a blast to work through the bands and work through the callers one by one. Sometimes I’ll go an hour or more without sending a single CQ. I’ve got callers at every sending speed. Many have told me I was their first CW QSO - That’s a blast! I’ve watched as hunters have gone from very green CW ops to being new members of CWops sending at 25+ WPM with me. I’ve been doing this for over three years without missing a day activating. For whatever reason, I just don’t get tired of it. I absolutely love CW, and that’s a huge part of it. As long as folks keep calling me, I’ll keep going to the same park almost every day! Tomorrow is day 1,115 and I can’t wait to get to the (same) park! 🙂
