CCRC Parks On the Air Day

April 18th, 2026

1200 – 1700 local time.

The plan is to “Activate” as many Parks in Coos County in one afternoon as possible.

We will be making QSO’s using the club callsign. K7CCH.

What’s an “Activation?”

A licensed amateur radio operator sets up a portable station within a designated, qualifying park (state, national, or provincial) to make radio contacts with other operators. A successful activation requires making a minimum of 10 QSOs (contacts) in a single UTC day, which are then logged and uploaded to the POTA system for awards.

The club can do multiple activations at once by using /R01, /R02, /R03, etc. for example

• K7CCH/R01 at Bullards Beach State Park,
• K7CCH/R02 at the North Spit BLM Area,
• K7CCH/R03 at Tugman State Park.

If you want to learn how to make a POTA activation, join one of the locations with experienced Hams. Or! If you are able to do an activation on your own, activate a unique park. 

Hope to see your activation on the spots page!

More information will be made available in coming days.
