Portable Ham Radio via Morse Code at Delicate Arch in Utah – POTA’s main attractions are its simplicity and accessibility. But we can still challenge ourselves at times and make a bit more of an adventure of our activations. There were many other places I could activate right out of the truck, but THIS is where I wanted to be! And this is how it felt to activate a major American landmark on a challenging site.
