The Parks on the Air (POTA) program continues to hold my attention,
partially because of the enormous popularity (you cant turn on a radio without hearing someone calling CQ POTA), and also due to the variety of awards.  Today I was granted the Texas Wild Rice award for confirmed contacts with 600 unique parks.  Thank you POTA people!

Goal Review 2022

I started the year with 5 goals.  Two have been completed and two are underway:

Teach a CW Academy Course This goal has been completed after teaching 16 classes in January and March.  All seven students were advanced to the next higher level
Teach a Technician Course The planning has been completed for a class to begin on April 19th.  So far 17 students have signed up.
Conduct NCRC’s first electronic VE exam.  This was completed on March 11th.  Beyond a doubt this is by far the most efficient way of giving an exam.  NCRC will be funding the purchase of additional tablet computers to support this activity.
Build my QRP-Labs QCX 20m Transceiver I have not begun this task.
Participate in 120+ CWTs for the CWops Gold Medal.  For the 2022 year, I have completed 52 CWTs.  Today is actually my 1 year anniversary of my
first CWT, and I have completed 143 of them during that period of time.
