In this video I interview the developer of Potacat, an innovative logging and operating platform built specifically for Parks on the Air (POTA) operators and portable ham radio enthusiasts. During our conversation, we explore the design philosophy behind the software and watch a live demonstration of Potacat in action.
Potacat is designed to simplify the POTA activation workflow, helping operators quickly log contacts, track park activations, and stay organized while operating in the field. The developer walks us through the interface and key tools that make Potacat a powerful option for both POTA activators and hunters who want efficient, purpose-built ham radio logging software.
One of the unique advantages of running Potacat is that it also includes Echocat, a built-in tool that allows operators to remotely control their amateur radio station. With Echocat, users can operate any radio that supports rig control software, enabling remote HF operation from virtually anywhere. This opens up new possibilities for remote ham radio operation, station sharing, and controlling your radio while away from the shack.
During the interview and live demo, we discuss and demonstrate:
• What Potacat is and why it was created for the POTA community
• Key features of Potacat POTA logging software
• A live walkthrough of the Potacat interface and logging workflow
• How Potacat helps streamline Parks on the Air activations
• The built-in Echocat remote operation system
• How Echocat enables remote control of radios using rig control
• Practical benefits for portable operators and home stations
This video focuses on features, design, and a live demonstration of the software. Installation and configuration are not covered in this interview.
If you're interested in Parks on the Air, portable HF operation, ham radio logging tools, or remote station control, this conversation provides a great look at how Potacat and Echocat are helping modernize the POTA operating experience.
