CARC POTA Day / aka Derby Day

May 4 @ 8:00 am - 6:00 pm EDT

CARC will hold its POTA Event on Saturday May 4, 2024 at Pine Grove State Park.

Mark Anstine KC3UVG shared the following news with CARC Members via the groups.io page:    I reserved the Furnace Stack Pavilion this morning for the date of May 4, 2024. This site has electric and water onsite. The modern bathrooms are just across the parking lot.

This event is the rescheduled version of the POTA Event that had originally been planned for Saturday September 23, 2024.  The September 23 event was rescheduled due to the cold, windy, and rainy weather conditions that were forecast for that day due to tropical storm Ophelia which is passing to the east of us.

Earlier in 2023 we selected the first Saturday of May as CARC Derby Day — the day of the Kentucky Derby and a busy day on the Ham Radio Contest Calendar with four State QSO Parties taking place (7QP, Indiana QP, Delaware QP, and New England QP.  In 2024 we will combine POTA Day with Derby Day and cross our fingers hoping for good weather.

 

Preliminary information appears in this event listing and is subject to change as we undertake our planning process.
