One of the best ways to enjoy portable amateur radio is to activate park units for the Parks on the Air (POTA) program. The idea is simple: activators set up in parks and make contacts with hunters. Both parties get points, bragging rights, and have fun.
I started doing POTA activations in December of 2020, and have been having great fun with it since then. Check through the pages below to view a few of the past activations I’ve gone on. These are just some of the more interesting ones; check my profile on the POTA website to see the full list.
2020 – first activation
2021 – gaining experience
2022 – techniques refined
