RADIO OUTDOORS
Mountain summits, parks and open terrain become places for new contacts, experiments and competition. We take radio into the field, where knowledge, equipment and terrain shape every signal.
Take the station to the park
Parks on the Air joins amateur radio with time outdoors. An operator sets up a portable station and antenna in a park, activates the site and makes contacts with amateurs who try to find them on the air.
POTA
Radio from a mountain summit
Summits on the Air takes the radio station onto the mountain. The goal is to make radio contacts from the summit using portable gear, an antenna and your own power source.
SOTA
Radio from protected nature
World Wide Flora & Fauna encourages amateur-radio activity from national parks, reserves and other protected areas. An activation joins radio, terrain and discovering natural places.
WWFF
Radio without a fixed shack
Radio without fixed infrastructure — portable stations, temporary antennas, battery or solar power and operating from changing locations.
PORTABLE
How many contacts can you make?
Club outings, special activations and VHF/UHF contests from field sites where equipment, propagation and teamwork decide the result.
CONTEST
Find the signal
Amateur radio direction finding joins radio technique, orienteering and physical activity. With a receiver and a directional antenna, competitors try to find hidden transmitters in the shortest time.
