I am very much a beginner activator I love setting up outside and seeing how many contacts I can make.

I would say bring enough stuff to make yourself comfortable and get ready to speak with people who come across you operating in a park. POTA is a great way to open a dialog with people and invite them to try to get their license. When I am out in the public I try to be a good steward of the hobby by being open to answering questions and compliant with all the rules in the park.

I love to operate digital modes when activating so far I have only activated using digital modes. I have been studying and practicing my CW skills and am slowly transitioning my set up to do CW activations. I love the challenge of it.

The most important thing in all of this is to have fun so make sure you have fun while you are doing it.
