POTA SYP Summer Event

This coming weekend, July 19/20, is this summers Support Your Park Event, where a frenzy of POTA operators try to activate, or hunt, as many parks as they can over the weekend.

Many activators use these events, held once each season, to go for the POTA Rover Award, not as a contest, but as a personal challenge to see how many parks they can activate in a 24 hour period. My best, so far, is 10 parks in 24 hours.

I haven't seen any long range propagation forecasts yet for the weekend. Hopefully it improves and we get a weekend of good weather and good propagation. It's been a long time since that combination happened around here. 

I'll be out Friday evening for a late shift activation, and again Saturday morning. I'm hoping for an easy time this event, and plan on only activating 5 parks which is very easy to do.

This is a world-wide event, so get out and make some contacts!

Stay Safe Out There!!
