There are 21 State Parks in Mississippi that are registered with Parks on the Air (POTA). It would be awesome if we are able to activate all 21 parks on the same day during the same time period!
We need help from Ham Radio Operators to make this happen. Please consider signing up for a time to activate a Mississippi State Park on Saturday, May 18, 2024 between the hours of 9:00 am – 6:00 pm CDT. We are looking for activators willing to work a morning shift or an afternoon shift. Email ms.parksontheair@gmail.com to SIGN UP to Activate a park.
For more information, visit MSPOTA Mississippi Parks on the Air
Hope to find you on the air Saturday, May 18!
