POTA: Winter Support Your Parks Weekend

January 17, 2025The winter edition of Support Your Parks Weekend takes place January 18th and 19th. This is an official Parks on the Air (POTA) event that encourages operators to make their way to a park and enjoy the day.

Support Your Parks Weekend takes place 4 times per year, winter, spring, summer, and autumn.

Getting started with POTA can happen via one of two paths — as an “activator” who heads out into the parks or as a “hunter” who is trying to contact someone in a park. The easiest way to participate in POTA is as a hunter.
