Welcome to the Athens Radio Club's - ARC POTA Sprint - May 4th, 2024
Who? All club members, and anyone else who wants to check out POTA activations are invited to participate.
The plan is to have ARC members in 5 nearby Parks on the Air sites, setup for operation for most of the day, so other ARC members (or local/regional POTA folks) can drive from park to park and get multiple activations and to allow hunters an opportunity to hunt all 5 parks for a special event clean sweep.
When? Saturday May 4th from 8:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
Talk-in and overall coordination will be done on 146.550 FM Simplex. Use the 145.330 (-) PL 123.0 repeater while moving between parks. AC4SH Claude Ray will rove between parks and serve as a back-up activator if needed. .
