THE HUNT IS ON: Tracking Down and Helping Other POTA Activators!

Sometimes things just happen on their own. What you actually do at a Parks On The Air (POTA) activation once you have everything setup and ready to go. I found myself in that situation on Sunday, September 14, 2025 at US-9891 Blackbird Creek National Reserve in Townsend, Delaware. Watch the video and see what happened! Thank you to the all of the hunters and fellow activators for the contacts!
