Google AI Overview - POTA

Parks on the Air (POTA) is a popular international amateur radio program where licensed operators set up portable stations in national, state, and local parks to make radio contacts with others. It promotes emergency communication skills, outdoor activity, and environmental awareness, with participants either “activating” a park or “hunting” them from home.

Summits on the Air (SOTA) is an international amateur radio award program that encourages portable, battery-powered radio operation from mountain summits. Participants (“activators”) hike to designated peaks and make radio contacts with others (“chasers”), earning points based on summit height and season. It merges hiking with ham radio, launched in 2002.
