POTA Activation – Los Angeles State Historic Park

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

Come to the park  at Los Angeles State Historic Park., 1245 N Spring St,  Los Angeles, CA 90012.  Setup your own a station, help with other stations, or just come to watch.

Coordinate setup location upon arrival using the GOTAhams repeater, or (if that is not reachable), the simplex frequency (146.580 MHz)

There is no fee to enter LASHP, but there is a fee ($2 per hour or $8 per day) for parking vehicles in official parking lots. Special parking rates are as follows: seniors: $7 flat, disabled parking: $4 flat (or free with disabled person placard). There is also free street parking near the park, but pay close attention to no-parking & anti-gridlock zones.

I do not know if there will be tables available, but there is free WIFI (“ParksWIFI”) and restrooms.

Please remember to bring a chair, table (if needed), and a beverage/water. Sunscreen and a hat/shade is also recommended.

Afterwards, I expect at least a few of us will find somewhere nearby for lunch.

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-3462 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..
