One entry per activation, newest first. Search by park name, reference or antenna — the filter reads the whole entry, so "random wire" or "US-2950" both work. Park references from the Caribbean trips live here too, and each one links back to the trip story.
Tennessee's newest state park, Clinch River Valley, protects 21 acres along one of North America's most biodiverse rivers around the historic Kyle Ford General Store. Adjacent is the Kyles Ford WMA. Not a two-fer, but the history here makes these activations work a visit.
Located in Roane County, at the confluence of the Tennessee and Clinch Rivers, Fort Southwest Point State Historic Park preserves and protects the location of a federal military fort built in 1797. This is Tennessee's newest POTA park.
First visit to Sierra National Forest (US-4466), activated right from our cabin at Tenaya Lodge on the edge of Yosemite. A stubborn intermittent short in a PL-259 turned the activation into a fight — and inspired a homebrew coax tester. I'll definitely be back.
A park-by-park rundown of Anguilla's eight POTA entities, with notes on access, logistics, and what to expect if you're planning a visit and want to get some parks in the log.
First licensed as V4/W4IO on St. Kitts! I activated Brimstone Hill Fortress (KN-0003) — a UNESCO site with cannons and great views — plus Royal Basseterre Valley (KN-0002). Rain couldn’t stop the fun. And there are monkeys and wild donkeys!
A memorable visit to Sint Eustatius with a little radio in the shadow of a volcano, and a memorable swim at the Golden Rock Resort.
The story (or part of it), of my adventure heading up to Scott's Gulf Wilderness to be first to activate the newest TN State Park.
The story from my POTA activation from Brown's Ferry Federal Road on the bank of the Tennessee River.
Moving from the river to the mountains, this is the story of my trip to Prentice Cooper state forest.
For my first POTA activation I visited a nearby state park, Booker T. Washington State Park
