How do you activate all 61 POTA-designated parks in the state of Rhode Island? You plan a POTA "activation-a-thon" - which is what Rhode Island Parks on the Air is calling the three-day event next month. This is a formal, organized challenge by the community-based group, which has its own website and schedule of activations, encouraging all US and DX stations to work as many of the parks as possible. The activity will be focused on September 11th, 12th and 13th but some operators will be on the air as early as the 10th.
Those watching the action will be able to monitor a realtime dashboard of who is on the air and see what parks will be activated next.
Visit the website r i p o t a.org for details or, if you happen to be in Rhode Island that weekend, be sure to register.
