GO, BUILD AND GET OUT AND ACTIVATE!
What’s In Your POTA Kit
When it comes to Parks on the Air, we all have our own unique setup for activation. Some prefer a minimalist approach with a small and light pack, while others prefer to bring everything and spend the whole day at the park. And if you're new to POTA, you may wonder where to begin. So look no further we have gathered the best examples of POTA setups to hopefully inspire and get you thinking about building your next Go bag.

To the Park
John strikes a perfect balance between packing appropriate gear and ensuring a comfortable experience. He primarily uses his FT-891 in conjunction with his DX Commander.
Off to the Beach
Activate Quickly
I have had a few different bags for carrying my gear on activations. I started with an Oakley Extractor Sling bag, but it wasn't big enough to hold all my recording equipment and additional gear. I needed more storage space, so I researched and ultimately decided on the Tennba Axis 32l Bag.
AC1RH POTA KIT
Go-box that can get me on the air from 80m to 6m at 100 watts for about 4-5 hours on battery power depending on use.
KC1QDK POTA KIT
Tim is getting his feet wet by activating using digital modes with CW mode in the crosshairs.
Although this setup can be used for a park activation, Eric prefers going to the beach. However, he wants to ensure he doesn't disturb other beachgoers. Therefore, he decided to build a stealthy and low-power setup that can activate both SSB and digital modes at the beach.
N1OG POTA KIT
Paul’s POTA kit is geared towards his preferred mode of activation SSB.
