No Place To Set Up For POTA? NO PROBLEM!

Post author By admin
Post date September 11, 2024

You Never Know What You’re Going To Get Into When Activating POTA. Be Prepared. Wildlife Management Areas can be tough to activate from due to the lack of infrastructure. Generally I’ve found they don’t have the usual day use areas, picnic tables, campgrounds, etc. that we grow accustomed to at state parks, which can pose a challenge when you get there. Especially if you’ve never been there before to scout out a good location to operate. But alas, we are hams and we will find a solution, and that’s exactly what we did!
