About this event

November 17th will be the next Parks On The Air (POTA)  training session out at the Fresno side of Millerton Lake State Recreation Area near the boating area.  I should be out there by 8 AM  I am usually setup out by the picnic areas near the public restrooms.  We will setup equipment and try to make some POTA contacts.  Bring out your equipment and join us, or just come out and see what POTA is all about.  This has also been somewhat of a miniature Field Day in that we have had several new hams show up and look at equipment, along with a first chance to get on the air.

November 17th is a Sunday event.  If you sign up for Parks On The Air before you come out and you make some contacts, you would be able to load those contacts into the Parks On The Air website.  If you make 10 contacts, then you would have a full activation.  If you make some contacts as an activator but you haven't signed up for POTA, you can sign up when home and then upload your contacts.

To check out Parks On The Air go to www.parksontheair.com.  This is free to join and is relatively quick process.  I would recommend reading the FAQs to familiarize yourself a bit and then come out to Millerton and get on the air.

I am planning on doing FT8 while there.  If you are interested in going digital, come and check that out.

I look forward to seeing you there.
