May 18 Mississippi Parks on the Air

Area 51 Radio Group and Jackson County Amateur Radio Association are working with Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, & Parks (MDWFP) to promote public awareness of amateur radio and Mississippi’s State Park system. 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

The Mississippi QSO Party 2024

The Mississippi QSO Party is an annual event that encourages Hams in Mississippi to get on the air and hand out QSOs to folks from all over the globe.

Whether participating from home, mobile, EOC, or maybe a Parks on the Air entity, it’s a great opportunity to rack up some contacts and meet some new Hams.

It runs from 1400Z on April 6 through 0200Z on April 7. Get on the air, activate a rare county, catch a new county, and have fun.
