PCARS (K8BF)

Hi POTA fans!

Our next PCARS POTA shindig will be at Cuyahoga Valley National Park on Saturday April 19, 2025 from 9:00am to 3:00pm. This is our “World Amateur Radio Day + 1 Day” event AND the “Spring POTA Support Your Park” weekend. We will be at Shady Knoll Picnic Area, with spill over (if needed) at Boston Trailhead.

Both areas are just west of Rt 8 on 303.

I will be there early (8:00am?). We will have a tent (enclosed if needed), and a grill. Both areas have NO electricity, so get your battery, solar, hamster-driven generator, etc ready!

We will need some volunteers for food, drinks, paper towels, etc. Contact me or be at the next POTA SIG meeting (Tuesday 4/8/2025).

EVERYONE IS WELCOME! We have a great time at our POTA events. Cya there!

More details coming in the upcoming weeks.
