POTA August 2025

On August 25, 2025 some members of NCPARC met up at Sunken Meadows State Park in Suffolk County New York for a POTA activation. Six operators in total. The weather was perfect with partly cloudy skies and temps around the upper 70s.

The key goal was to have a relaxing day at the park but at the same time we had some objectives, learn how to set up portable equipment in the field from power supplies to transceivers to antennas.

Test out what works and what doesn't and finally make some contacts. We had several transceivers, antennas and power supplies.

We set up camp near a river and hope to tap into the nearby ''salt water amplifier''.

After a few hours we learned that somethings worked while others did not. We also swapped and tested our equipment in different configurations.

In the end it was a great way to meet up and enjoy the hobby in person in a beautiful state park.

Over 30 contacts were made and we had one official activation with a second coming within one of the the official POTA number of 10 unique contacts to certify an activation.

We all learned a lot but again we had a great afternoon of radio amongst friends.

Missed out on this POTA adventure? Don�t worry more are being planned. Join us on the next POTA activation! POTA on!
