One of my Ohio NPOTA activations in 2016. I hope to chase and possibly activate some Canadian parks this year!

RAC supports Canadian National Parks on the Air event

Radio Amateurs of Canada is pleased to announce its support of the Canadian National Parks on the Air (CNPOTA) event which will be held next year from January 1 to December 31.

The CNPOTA Event Committee describes the event in this way:

“All Radio Amateurs worldwide will have an opportunity to operate portably from any of Canada’s 48 National Parks and 171 National Historic Sites (these are ‘activators’). Amateurs around the world will be able to chase these adventurous operators in an effort to confirm the most QSOs (these are ‘chasers’).

Activity for activators and chasers will be tracked on a dedicated website and real-time leader board and other statistics will be available throughout the year. Activators and chasers will be able to compete for and collect online awards and certificates created specifically for the event.

Come join the fun and plan to visit one of Canada’s beautiful Parks and Historic sites next year!”.

RAC will be assisting the organizers in promoting the event through articles in The Canadian Amateur magazine, the RAC website and in social media.

One thought on “2019 Canadian Parks On The Air event!”

  1. Absolutely fantastic news! I had such a great time during NPOTA, which picked up steam as the year progressed – and was very disappointed when it ended. I will certainly be a chaser in this year-long event and would love to combine ham radio and photography by visiting Banff or some other beautiful Canadian park as an activator.

    I see a trip to VE in my near future. Thanks for posting this. 73,
