Intentional QRM Cant Stop Me from Getting a Kilo Award K3JRZ On The Air 2025-06-24 | So on Sunday, June 08, 2025, I made sure I charged up my battery and headed back out to US-7648 the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Conservation Area @delawarednrec at the Biddle Point trailhead to get my Kilo award (for making 1000 contacts at the entity). Sometimes during a Parks On The Air @ParksOnTheAir (POTA) activation there's that one person that turns out to be a sad ham and tries to ruin people's fun, but thanks modern technology, that sad ham can be taken care of!

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 .--

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 .--
Massive Morning DX Fun & Still Avoiding the Contest in Virginia K3JRZ On The Air 2025-04-29 | After spending the weekend in Virginia, I stopped at US-3994 Mockhorn Island Wildlife Management Area @VirginiaDWR at the GATR tract (it is also a location for US-9935 the Virginia Bird & Wildlife Trail), just north of Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, at the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula, for a Parks On The Air (POTA) activation on Sunday, March 30, 2025.

This behavior has been occurring on several repeaters in the greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania region for several years (that I know of) and it is still occurring.The FCC has been notified about about this multiple times and have been investigating it.
