In October, cooler heads abound. I just acquired books on POTA, got my rig, 706MkIiG, antenna and LiFePO4 battery. On web it shows 3 parks in Lowell on map. We shall see what grows.</div>

<div>Now <b>that</b> was an idiotic reply typical of a motormouth HAM old fart. I assume you must believe in some sort of deity, no? Are you not aware of why you were created with two eyes, two years, but only

<div>I looked through the website and they directed hams to contact their local council. I would think that as a young vigorous ham you could manage that. It may not be too late. Or are you not really concerned about the hobby continuing down the road of

<div>Ok, so now I know a little more about POTA, but my friend in Argentina just told me the Olavarría Ham Club is participating in JOTA-JOTI this weekend!</div>

</div>
<div><a href="https://www.jotajoti.info/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.jotajoti.info/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That's <b>Jamboree on the Air</b> and <b>Jamboree on the Internet</b>, a Scouting activity, as in
<a href="http://www.scouting.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">
www.scouting.org</a>!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How come the club is not participating in this? Sure, POTA, SOTA all of that is ok for the old timers, but could it be that us not participating in a worldwide activity like JOTA/JOTI at least partially explain why we have less than zero youngsters joining
the hobby?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It might be too late to join this weekend, but I think we should definitely plan to do this next year.</div>
