POTA

I just wrapped up my activation for North Dakota POTA Day, 2025. I wanted to post a field report from the activation to share with others in my local ham radio club, as well as give myself some notes for future activations. Since getting active in ham radio again in 2022, POTA (Parks on the Air) has been huge for me. POTA stations have made excellent targets as a new CW operator with its very familiar exchange, and activations feel a lot like a mini field-day event, which is another activity near and dear to me.
