Whenever you are out, either doing a Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation, shopping, dining out, attending a sporting event, or whatever, you always need to be aware of what is going on around you. This is called situational awareness. Your head must always be on a swivel, watching everything and everyone around you. Crime can happen anywhere. Never believe that it can never happen to you. Do not become a victim of crime.
ALWAYA BE SMART, BE SAFE AND POTA ON!

Q: What is Parks On The Air?
A: Parks On The Air (or POTA) for international portable amateur radio (ham radio) operations that promote emergency awareness and communications from national/federal and state/provincial level parks.
There are activators and there are hunters. Activators go into POTA approved parks, set up their amateur radio equipment and call CQ (CQ is an invitation for any amateur radio operators listening on that frequency to respond and make contact). Hunters will contact the activators and upon a successful contact, the activator puts the hunter into their logs that will be uploaded to calling area representatives who will then upload those logs to the POTA system. Hunters do not need to upload any logs.
Q: What are the Parks On The Air rules?
A: The rules for Parks On The Air can be found at parksontheair.com/rules .
Q: What are the Parks On The Air frequencies?
A: Any frequency that an amateur radio operator has permission to legally use in their country based upon their level of license. Repeaters cannot be used. More info can be found at parksontheair.com/faq .
