@@outnaboot for info….on the Facebook group for POTA someone asked the old question about park boundaries, I pointed out the there were kmls for google earth which show the boundaries and a quick search on google I found the USGS had the kmls. For those not sure what I am blithering about….a kml is a file format for use on/in Google earth to display points of interest or in this case an outline of the park in question. A very bloody useful tool for pota/WWFF operators. Some people were/are confused about were you can activate a park from, kmls make it easy to see! Hope this helps 73/44 de VK6MMB aka Michael

As a POTA hunter, I don't necessarily have to have you give your park number because I'm already looking on the POTA spotter website and have that information at hand. Most of the time, I've already got your call looked up on QRZ and I'm ready to log the call when I go to make the contact, so I'm not slowing you down, as I know that I'm not the only one trying to get to the activator. And as already been stated, I try to follow the flow that the activating station is giving. If you're up for a quick conversation, I'm happy to oblige. But if you're running it like a contest, I'll throw out a signal report and move on. Everyone has their own way of doing things! I hope to hear you tonight on the net!

Hi Stuart, My request for WWFF was approved last week. I was out today and activated a POTA park but failed in making the 44 for WWFF. I will still format the file and send it to Len. At least it's a few contacts towards the WWFF parks activation. I'll get the rest of the contacts soon to make up the difference. In this case, I will take advantage of not being restricted to the UTC clock and date to make the quota. Take care, VE9NHS.

Honestly, Americans probably stick to POTA because ARRL didn't endorse WWFF in their first National Parks On The Air Event, and ARRL is gospel to many so WWFF was forgotten here. I've not been licensed very long really, but I never heard of WWFF until you mentioned it a few videos back.

People tend to forget that you don't have to call CQ POTA or even mention anything about POTA when they are operating in a park. There is no formal exchange for the program. It can be done contest style with callsign and signal report, then moving on to the next contact or it could be done by someone who likes to rag chew. One good thing about being in the Western Hemisphere is that if we are camping at a POTA park we can start our activation some time after dinner before going to bed and then finish the activation after breakfast.
@outnaboot 8 күн бұрын
Exactly...people get hung up on calling CQ POTA, and the only thing that matters is making contacts. I join nets, operate a contest from a park, work DX from parks, and sometimes never even mention POTA. There are actually stations out there that won't engage POTA.
@DarkShadowCustoms 8 күн бұрын
@@outnaboot not only are there stations that won't engage POTA, but there are stations that will cause intentional interference during activations. Some of the worst offenders when it comes to interference is the SSTV guys. Instead of politely informing an activator that is operating near 14.230 MHz that it is listed as the SSTV frequency on the ARRL band plan they will start transmitting on top of the activator. I had that happen to me on my second activation because I didn't realize that 14.230 was set aside for SSTV and I on 14.229 MHz as that was a clear frequency without anyone adjacent to it. After no one came back when asking if the frequency was in use I started calling "CQ POTA" and shortly before I got enough contacts to activate the park someone started transmitting SSTV on 14.230 MHz.

My first couple of activations were completed by hunting and working some DX. I have avoided contacting contest stations as I wasn't sure of the contest rules and didn't want to provide wrong information or cause problems for the contester. I believe the most recent contest required an ITU Zone but I didn't realize that until it was too late.

Those pre-determined tip percents are crazy. I refused to put on pre-determine prevents on receipts for a former employer when I ran the POS system. I believe it was some crazy idea from a low-level F&B manager that had the idea. Although, the idea is to make it easier to help the customer with a tip amount without complex math (HA), but I see it as trying to sway a higher tip. Yes, we didn’t put a tip percents on our receipts, at least while I was there. I’ve always tipped based on service #1 & food #2. Thanks for the fish & chips craving! 73!

No. I've always laughed at the term. Sport is a competitive physical activity. However, if you combined SOTA with something like orienteering, where you had to reach and activate waypoints within in a given timeframe - like a time trial, or racing against other competitors... that would be a great sport.
