Saint Patrick's Episcopal Church
4755 North Peachtree Road
Dunwoody, GA
(across the N P'tree from Brookrun Dog Park)
via Zoom (click here)
First a recap of W4C World Cup Soccer Special Event Station operation. The club sponsored W4C for the Atlanta games but also ended up being the "Southeast US Station" for much of the world. (W4C did better than some states!)
Frank Howell K4FMH will give a talk on POTA activations in the U.S. He has published two blog articles at k4fmh.com on how POTA parks and activators have varied widely over the life of the program.
Frank will demonstrate that many urban hams, using Atlanta as one of the case studies, are shortchanged by POTA's selection of park sites. He has a path forward based upon the results he will show us in his talk.
Also, don't forget our groups.io calendar here..
