[TVARC] "Florida State Parks On-the-Air" (FLSPOTA) - April 6-7, 2019

[Anthony Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC's Mailing List,

Is anybody planning to participate in this year's "Florida State Parks
On-the-Air" (FLSPOTA) event/contest?  You can participate as an "activator"
(one person, or a team, going to a Florida State Park and operating from it
for this event).  You can also participate as a "chaser" (remain at your
home QTH and contact various activations around the State).  Of course,
propagation does not favor in-state chasers (i.e. Florida-to-Florida
contacts can be difficult).

The FLSPOTA event/contest is held the first full weekend in April.  So, in
2019, it will be held on April 6 - 7, 2019 during this two (2), separate
periods/sessions:

UTC: 1400Z-2200Z, Apr 6 and 1400Z-2200Z, Apr 7, 2019
EDT: 1000 -1800 , Apr 6 and 1000 -1800 , Apr 7, 2019

Unfortunately, FLSPOTA's first session on Saturday, April 6, conflicts with
TVARC's "Radio Rodeo" event.  On the other hand, the extra activity on the
HF bands generated by this event may give a boost to our club's radio
operations from Brownwood.

For more details/information about this annual event, check out these

So, is anybody planning to activate a Florida State Park for this
event/contest?  Is anybody forming an activation team?  Would anybody be
interested in forming a small team to activate a park (or two)?

73,

Tony/K4QR
