Indianapolis Radio Club Parks on the Air (POTA) operating event
Start a little later than normal, we will plan to be on the air by around 2:30 pm with 2 HF stations.
Set up at our normal spot, in front of the Visitor Center.
Even if you’re not licensed for HF, there will be control operators on site to help get you on the air.
Both radios will have 2 positions, one for the operator and one for a logger, in case you need help logging.
Will be using the club’s callsign of W9JP, but if you’re registered with the POTA system, you will get credit for the QSOs you make.
We’ll try to make sure the new operators get a chance to get on the air, but with 2 radios, anyone that wants to get on should be able to.
This event is open to everyone.
As usual, we will have coffee, donuts, and water available for refreshments.
Even if you don’t want to operate, just stop on by to chat with everyone.
