From Registration to Activation: Your Complete POTA Journey

Curious about Parks on the Air but not sure where to start? This episode takes you through the complete POTA experience, from initial registration to successful activation and everything in between.

We begin by explaining how to create your account on the POTA website and why it's worth doing even if you've never activated a park. Many operators are surprised to discover they already qualify for hunting awards from contacts they've made with activators in the past. The POTA system automatically syncs with activator logs, meaning your casual QSOs with operators in parks have been silently accumulating toward awards.
