MHR In The Park: Parks On The Air MasterClass

Note: This event is open to any and all amateur radio operators.

Join Minnesota Ham Radio for an exciting and informative event, MHR In The Park: Parks On The Air MasterClass! Sean Ihde (WI0O), an accomplished amateur radio POTA activator with over 500 POTA activations, will share his expertise and guide you through the intricacies of Parks On The Air activations. Whether you’re new to POTA or looking to refine your skills, this MasterClass has something for everyone.

You’ll get the chance to participate in a practical demonstration and learn how to set up your radio equipment, antennas, and logging systems efficiently for POTA activations. Bring your questions and curiosities about POTA, and Sean will be available to answer them during this interactive event. Attendees can bring their equipment to try and set up after Sean’s demonstration if they wish – but this is not required.

This event is also a great opportunity to connect with fellow amateur radio operators who enjoy portable operations, exchange stories, and make new friends who share your passion for ham radio.

MHR In The Park: Parks On The Air MasterClass promises to be an enriching experience for both beginners and experienced operators alike.

Fort Snelling State Park being a State Park does require a vehicle permit to access the park legally. We encourage you to purchase one here as you’ll likely need it for POTA activations. Alternatively, you can stop by your local library and get a temporary State Park vehicle pass for little to no cost.

Talk-in on 444.425+ (114.8) KA0KMJ repeater – N0BVE linked repeater network is busy for HandiHams at this time. 

The event will be in the parking area of Fort Snelling Beach. Go through the main entrance and you’ll see the beach parking area on your left.
