Summits On The Air Activation in Old Virginia. Hamming Harder with QRP.

While visiting Virginia for work I was able to get out and get my Summit Activation here. I had previously gotten my POTA activation last year near Virginia Beach but didn't have time to go the distance to get a summit. This year I had a little extra time to make the drive and headed out in the rain to go get this summit done. Luckily it stopped the downpour by the time we reached the site and I was able to get a humid, bug filled activation in without getting drenched. Lets see what conditions I faced while trying to activate QRP using my IC-705 on internal battery running 5 watts. I first tried my Packtenna 9:1 Unun random wire but had to switch to my dipole due to conditions. Also used the MFJ-929 tuner to help out the matching.
