Parks On The Air (POTA) Brochure
So you’re out at a beautiful state park, all setup, and making contacts for POTA activation. Along comes some folks who are walking the dog, having a picnic, riding bicycles, whatever. “What are you doing?” They inquire.
Well, here is something cool that was designed by our own Bob Beatty (WB4SON). It’s a brochure that contains information about Parks On The Air. Many of you have asked for something like this and here it is.
If you’re heading out to enjoy a POTA activity, you may want to print a couple of these to have handy. We will bulk print these and make available to you. But, if you’re stuck without, here is a printable version, Be sure to set your app for two-sided printing on 8.5″ x 11″ paper.
