After visiting the royal Palazzina di Caccia dl Stupinigi, one of Piedmont's most prestigious Savoy Residences, today I made a quick POTA activation from IT-0733, park of Stupinigi Natura 2000, as IK1IYU/P on 20 meters CW, 10 Watt and my vertical antenna.

1500 parks! Thanks to all activators!
In January I discovered the #POTA program as hunter, quickly catching the Parks activator bug, despite limited free time. 8 months later I've reached the milestone of 1000 parks. Greatest satisfaction comes from outdoor activity/ QRP power/portable antennas, often resulting in surprising QSOs.
