The Spartanburg Amateur Radio Club will set up at Cowpens National Battlefield (BF 03) on Saturday, April 23, 2016, to activate the battlefield and the Overmountion Victory Trail (TR 10) which passes through the battlefield for ARRL's National Parks On The Air. Set up will start at 9 am when the park opens and we plan to begin operating by 10:00 am; operations will end at 4 pm. This is a great way to show off our fun hobby to park visitors and may even recruit some new hams. We will be operating from the group picnic shelter located in the picnic area of the park (see map below). When you enter the park go past the Visitor's Center on the Loop Road; the picnic area will be on your right.
Fun Fact: Except for New Jersey there were more Revolutionary War battles and skirmishes fought in South Carolina than in other Colony.
