POTA 101: The Beginner's Guide to Parks on the Air. Episode #1.

Firstly, I want to congratulate you if you are thinking of heading out to activate a park for the very first time! The "addiction is real" to quote my buddy Charlie W7RTA... I also thought it was time to share some of my knowledge and experience as I've done over 350 activations and made 15,000+ QSO's in the past 2 years. Originally, the plan was to make this video so it was a total of 15 minutes from start to finish - not the case! Once I started on this, I realized there is so much more to it than '15 minutes'. hahaha

There are lots of 'assumptions' in this - and hope there are some points that you can take away from it. One main assumption that I forgot to mention.... You have an Antenna Tuner! haha.

Thanks again everyone for your incredible support! You guys are awesome.

Stay tuned - for episode 2 and 3 - coming soon!
