Background information
Introduction
The following information is provided by the POTA China administrator: @BH3XZT
Parks on the Air® (POTA) is an ongoing initiative designed to encourage amateur radio operators to develop their skills, build community, and showcase their hobby to the public, as well as demonstrate emergency preparedness and communication in emergency situations. The program provides access to thousands of parks worldwide, each offering a unique experience. The operating mode and season will also influence the experience.
The Parks on the Air® (POTA) activity began in early 2017, following the end of ARRL's National Parks on the Air (NPOT) special event. A group of volunteers wanted to continue this fun after the one-year event, so POTA was created.
Similar to the IOTA concept, POTA aims to encourage communication with radio stations located in parks around the world.
Previously, no parks in mainland China and Hong Kong had been included in this project. However, after @BH3XZT Coordination efforts are underway, and the POTA activities have now entered mainland China (including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan). Relevant park information is being gradually updated.
