I’ve switched to it from HAMRS because of the lack of support lately. Then right after, HAMRS updated the park list, but I haven’t gone back to it since. I like that it uses Apple Maps vs a generic map. So far so good and it appears to be getting improvements to it almost every day. Send on the keyboard is only available if you’re actually in the callsign/signal report part of the log application.

I've never tried uploading from my phone but this is the message I get: "Unfortunately, uploading logs is not yet supported on this screen size. To submit logs, please use a higher display resolution. (Hint: Try turning your phone sideways, it just may work.)". Turning my phone did not work. I always airdrop the file to my Mac and then upload it to POTA.

Mike, I’d love to see a video about backpacks, bags, and containers you’ve used for POTA. I know I’ve seen you do videos about what is IN your bags and packs, but I’m curious about the bags themselves. Also all manor of straps and boxes. I have a FT-891 that fits in an Osprey sling bag but there’s not much room for anything else. I’d like to see what you’ve tried and what has worked and what has not. Brad W8RAD
