Are you looking forward to enjoying a beautiful day outdoors this weekend? If so, join us at the Multi-Club POTA event, where we can almost guarantee it. The weather forecast promises sunny skies and warm temperatures—perfect for a day outside.
Three different clubs are coming together to set up four distinct park activations on Saturday. This event is organized by the PCARS Portable Operating SIG and the Silvercreek ARA, with the Cuyahoga Falls ARC also participating.
The event runs from 9 AM to 3 PM. Visitors are encouraged to visit any or all of the activations to experience different operating styles and setups.
The PCARS group will be at Pavilions #1 & #2 at Lake Milton State Park, located on the east side of the lake in the Harry Meshel Picnic Area. You can find directions here: Lake Milton State Park Directions. We’ll provide hot dogs, sloppy joes, and bottled water. Feel free to bring additional food items to share.
The SARA group will have two activations: one at the East Boat Ramp at the end of Gilbert Rd., off Cable Line Rd. Directions can be found here: East Boat Ramp Directions. They’ll serve hot dogs and hamburgers, and you’re welcome to bring sides or snacks to share.
Additionally, the SARA group is hosting a hike-in activation on the Buckeye Trail. Those interested in joining should arrive between 9 AM and 9:45 AM at the East Boat Launch Shelter – 5998 Gilbert Road, Ravenna, OH 44266. The group will leave from there around 10 AM to go to the starting location of the hike at the Park Office.
The Cuyahoga Falls ARC will be at Church in the Valley – 2241 Everett Rd, Peninsula, OH. Directions can be found here: Church in the Valley Directions. For more information about this activation, you can contact Jim, WA3JAT, via email.
