Parks On The Air

Parks On The Air is an international radiosport award program that encourages licensed amateur radio operators to operate portable equipment in a variety of parks and public lands. The goal of the program is enjoyment of amateur radio in the outdoors while also promoting emergency awareness and communications preparation.

GOTAhams has a group of dedicated hams that plan to activate a different park each month. Everyone is welcome to come to the park. You can setup a station, help with other stations or just watch the operation and socialize.

You can also participate from home as a “Hunter”. Hunters make contact from home to a P.O.T.A station. To make a contact with the GOTAhams P.O.T.A group. On a day that we have a P.O.T.A event; check the POTA website here: https://pota.app/  and look for WG6OTA. Listen to the frequency the Club POTA group is using.  Then make a contact.
