What is “Parks on the Air”? Parks on the Air is a spin-off from the American Radio Relay League's (ARRL) “National Parks on the Air” event conducted in 2016. It is a special event that gets HAM operators in the field practicing mobile communications and utilizing field expedient methods to establish two-way communication with distant stations all while enjoying the outdoors in select state and federal parks. Chester, KO4TKS, will discuss the history of Parks on the Air (POTA), required equipment, what constitutes an activation, roles of the operators involved, the “POTA” exchange, and post activation requirements.
This presentation will be given by lecture method with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation and class participation. Practical application can be conducted individually or as a group for anyone interested.
