Parks on the air
POTA is a USA based scheme, for international portable amateur radio operations, that promote emergency awareness and communications from national/federal and state/provincial level parks.
Further information can be found here.
The scheme uses the same concept as SOTA. Parks are 'activated' when a radio operator works from within the boundaries of a recognised park and makes ten confirmed QSOs. Chasers can be anywhere. Different parks have different values, and logs can be submitted to the POTA scheme to claim awards. A large ammount of software and Apps are available to assist in POTA activities, such as logging, alerts, spots, etc.
