Re: new POTA and SOTA poll #poll-notice
You'd have to account for the fact that some parks are in multiple counties, states, and even grids. Earl / KD5XB Sent from Proton Mail Android

Re: new POTA and SOTA poll #poll-notice
The ability for SpotCollector to lookup a park's location would be very welcomed! Currently, I plug the POTA designator into the pota.app site so I can see on a map where it is. If it's in the same

Re: new POTA and SOTA poll #poll-notice

Re: new POTA and SOTA poll #poll-notice
How is all this going to be affected when an activator goes home znd uploads to LotW, eQSL, etc, as if he was at home and not in a park? This is just about as common as breathing. Earl / KD5XB Sent

A bit late to the party but here is my .02 on the matter.? FWIW, I have 5500+ total contacts with POTA activators and ~2200 confirmed parks. The first issue is that the POTA database is very dynamic
