POTA Activation – February 7

Dockweiler State Beach

We will be doing a POTA activation. Everyone is welcome to come to the park or participate from home.

Come to the park  at Dockweiler State Beach. Do NOT use the entrance where Imperial ends at Vista Del Mar; instead, turn left from Imperial (or continue south on Vista Del Mar) for about 1/4 a mile and enter there. The address, for driving maps purposes, is 12505 Vista Del Mar, Playa Del Rey, CA 90293. There’s a $8 all-day parking fee per car. There are no picnic tables nor shade trees; we will be in the parking lot. Setup your own a station, help with other stations, or just come to watch, the view is great (ocean).

To participate from home (Hunters) all you have to do is check the POTA website here: https://pota.app/#/  and look for WG6OTA or look for US-3425 Listen to the frequency the Club POTA group is using.  Then make a contact. That is it. Signing up for your own account or logging your contacts at the POTA website is not required but optional if you want to keep track of your POTA contacts..
