My friends, Tom, W8TAM, and Julie, K8VOX, have become Parks on the Air (POTA) masters (monsters?). Last year, they gave a standing-room-only presentation at Dayton, and recently presented at the Orlando Hamcation. You can find the entire presentation in this Google doc, but here are a few highlights:
There’s a heck of a lot more in this presentation, including how and where to activate, how to chase activators, and the awards for both activators and chasers. Having accompanied Thom on a couple of activations, I can attest to the fun you’ll have by getting involved in POTA. Check it out.

I read this information on Parks on the Air. While browsing, I discovered there are at least two organizations claiming to be parks on the air for US: parksontheair.com and wwffkff.wordpress.com Do you have any idea what is the difference between them?

Alliteration always alerts appropriately? :-)
