Ireland and India Join Parks on the Air

Portable radio enthusiasts are thrilled with the news that Parks on the Air has added two new countries.

In Parks on the Air News, in October we welcomed Ireland and India to Parks on the Air! So please join me in saying dia duit and namaste to our newest POTA friends! October was another record-setting month, with an all-time high for both number of activators and number of QSOs, with 1,630 activators making a combined 329,019 QSOs.

In our last news item for the month, POTA is excited to officially announce that for our 2022 summer plaque event, we will be adding several plaques for DX QSOs. There will be up to 6 DX plaques available, pending sponsorship – one each for the most QSOs made as an activator outside of the continental United States for IARU Regions 1, 2, and 3, and 1 each for hunters who make the most QSOs with activators in those same regions. If you or your organization is interested in sponsoring one of these new DX plaques in 2022, please send an email to n3vem@parksontheair.com for details.

This is November 3 Victor Echo Mike with your October Parks on the air Update. Be sure to visit parksontheair.com for information about the program, and pota.app for spotting, park information, leader boards, and more.
