Another showing of the gear & equipment I use for my POTA activations. Filmed after my Parks On The Air (POTA) activation of K-1741 Lums Pond State Park in Bear, Delaware on Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022 for the 2022 Spring Support Your Parks weekend!
New POTA-themed QSL cards are IN! QSL info can be found on my QRZ page.
ALL amateur radio operators world-wide need to know the DX CODE OF CONDUCT. It was meant for DX contacts, but it really applies to ALL aspects of amateur radio (DXing, contesting, POTA, SOTA, Field Day, special events, etc...). DON'T BE AN ALPHA HOTEL!

Q: What is Parks On The Air?
A: Parks On The Air (or POTA) for international portable amateur radio (ham radio) operations that promote emergency awareness and communications from national/federal and state/provincial level parks.
There are activators and there are hunters. Activators go into POTA approved parks, set up their amateur radio equipment and call CQ (CQ is an invitation for any amateur radio operators listening on that frequency to respond and make contact). Hunters will contact the activators and upon a successful contact, the activator puts the hunter into their logs that will be uploaded to calling area representatives who will then upload those logs to the POTA system. Hunters do not need to upload any logs.
Q: What are the Parks On The Air rules?
A: The rules for Parks On The Air can be found at [ Ссылка ] .
Q: What are the Parks On The Air frequencies?
A: Any frequency that an amateur radio operator has permission to legally use in their country based upon their level of license. Repeaters cannot be used. More info can be found at [ Ссылка ] .
