About POTA

The POTA movement began in the United States. It built on the surge of interest in portable radio operation caused by the ARRL hosting a one-year program called NPOTA in 2016 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park System. A nonprofit organization was founded in 2018 to continue POTA on a permanent basis, since when it has been a popular method of community and student outreach, with events taking place both in parks and sometimes at other public events. The organization worked to expand worldwide and participation now occurs around the clock and around the world, in locations as diverse as the Caribbean, India, China and Europe. Park locations range from large national parks covering many square miles to small urban locations and islands. (Source: Wikipedia click here)
