Parks on the Air Activation from Jordan Lake State Recreation Area | POTA from US 3844

Join me for a Parks on the Air (POTA) activation from Jordan Lake State Recreation Area (US-3844) as we take ham radio out into the field for real-world outdoor communications and portable operations. In this video, I set up a fully functional POTA station in a beautiful lakeside environment and work stations using HF ham radio, demonstrating how effective portable amateur radio operations can be in parks, forests, and remote locations. This activation is perfect for ham radio operators, campers, overlanders, RVers, hikers, fishermen, road trippers, and outdoorsmen who are interested in off-grid communication, emergency preparedness, and field radio setups. You’ll see the entire process from setup to on-air contacts, including antenna deployment, station configuration, propagation conditions, and real-time QSOs during the activation. Whether you're new to POTA hunting and activating, or an experienced operator looking for ideas to improve your portable ham radio kit, this video provides practical insight into building efficient field communication systems. If you enjoy amateur radio, outdoor adventures, survival communication, and portable HF radio operations, this Jordan Lake activation is a great example of how fun and rewarding POTA can be.
