Support Your Parks Weekend: Winter is here—and Brew and Activate is getting you ready. We’re talking the origin story of Support Your Parks, how to plan a safe and efficient winter POTA activation, and then we’re ending with a community challenge:
The Brew and Activate SYP-Winter Challenge:
Get 10 QSOs on 60m (SSB or FT8) during an activation, then try one weird thing for 15 minutes: 30m (CW/FT8) or FT4.
In this stream we cover:
Where Support Your Parks came from and why it’s such a big weekend
Activator + chaser strategies for event weekends
Winter field tips: layers, hands/feet, wind management, condensation, and battery performance
Quick “go kit” checklist you can screenshot
How to make alternative bands/modes work (and still qualify the park)
Drop a comment with your plan: activating or chasing, what park, what band/mode, and your weather forecast. After the weekend, come back and tell us how it went.
