Posted: 09 Jun 2016 11:32 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/kb6nu...m_medium=email By all accounts, the ARRLs National Parks on the Air (NPOTA)Â*program has been a huge success. As I write this, there have been more than 400,000 contacts made, and that number will easily exceed a million before the year is up. Unfortunately for hams here in SE Michigan, we have few sites that we can easily activate. Then, yesterday, I got the following e-mail from my friend Rich, KA8BMA: Ive been day dreaming again. My brilliant idea of the day: What about SPOTA (State Parks On The Air)? Michigan now boasts 101 state parks.Â*I would think that Pure Michigan (the state agency that promotes Michigan tourism) would jump at the chance of sponsoring this event.Â*An SPOTA might also put elevation-challenged states like Michigan on a more even footing with states like Colorado and California when it comes to programs like Summits on the Air (SOTA). There could evenÂ* be a state park hunters organization, like county hunters. This Â*sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Anyone else interested?
