The Parks on the Air Activator We All Hoped For: Add Hawaii to your POTA Worked All States Award

Eric Olson, KD9TEZ (now KH6WI), is on active duty for the United States Navy in Hawaii. With 13 years of military comms experience, and the desire to add an engaging pastime to his schedule, becoming a licensed amateur radio operator was a natural. Given strict restrictions to operating from his home QTH, Eric immersed himself in Parks on the Air. This was fortuitous for all of us who needed a park activation in Hawaii to fully complete the Worked All States award. Eric has been nominated as an outstanding operator and recognized as such by Parks on the Air.
