US-2481 Fort Ridgely State Park
Date: 10-18-2025
Time: 8a-3p

Join us for a SMARTS in the Park activity where we share knowledge and experiences with activating a registered POTA State Park (Parks on the Air). (POTA US-2481)

We will start our activities at/near the Picnic Shelter and evaluate the need to relocate depending upon recreational congestion.

Operators will be on the air from 10 am until around 3 pm, give or take depending upon propagation.

As a bonus, join us early for some BYOB (Bring your own Breakfast) time from 8am until 10am. We'll visit and discuss "important" topics before kicking off the official activation.

We will be monitoring 146.52 simplex.

Feel free to bring questions, gear to use or stories to share.
