The FCC knows me as William but on the air I go by my middle name, Eric. Visit the complete WD8RIF website at http://wd8rif.com/radio.htm.
During 2016, I participated in the ARRL's National Parks on the Air (NPOTA) program as an activator. I successfully activated all ten of the National Park Service units located in Ohio and all six of the National Park Service units located in West Virginia. I finished the NPS Centennial Year with 183 activations and placed 2nd in Ohio and 17th overall among activators. I made just under 3,000 QSOs while activating, traveled over 16,000 miles, and worked stations in each of the 50 U.S. states while running CW at 5-watts into field-portable antennas. My sincere thanks go to my wife Vickie, KC8MAJ, for her forbearance; to my son Miles, KD8KNC, for his navigation skills, for his help with activation-photography, and for his help with set-up and tear-down; and to my dedicated spotters Ted Jacobson, W8KVK; Mike Hansgen, K8RAT; and Tom Witherspoon, K4SWL.
