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!

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.
