In this episode of The VJ Array, we talk to Steve, W3SPC, about his involvement of the very popular #POTA (Parks On The Air) Program. Steve is a member of the local radio club YCARS (York County Amateur Radio Society) in Rock Hill, SC. He’s relatively new to POTA, but as you will see, it has sparked a passion for the hobby in him. He’s been very active since getting started and is very knowledgeable about the program. The sit down with him is part of a longer chat that we will post in the near future in its entirety.
