ARRL 10m 2022 - Two Days In A Park, QRP, Unassisted, SSB (And POTA)

After my technically-a-success in ARRL Sweepstakes 2022 , I decided a bit more ambition was necessary for the ARRL 10 Meter 2022 . Of course I could have just tried replicating my performance with an indoor antenna, but my log only had one QSO on 10m at Sweepstakes… and there would be interesting DX opportunities to be had with a better situated antenna. I had already confirmed that there was a convenient shelter at Lake Kegonsa State Park ( K-1459 , wiki is down) with mains power (those details in another potential post). Station setup at the shelter on day one. Just about to get started, log is empty! Of course, I wasn't just going to jump straight into this. There were pieces of prep and planning to get this done other than just scouting the location.
