Parks on the Air (POTA) Saturday September 13, 8:00am till Activated - It's no longer tentative, we plan to activate Cooper State Park S. Sulphur unit under the RARC call sign K5RKW. The address for the park is:

Cooper State Park

South Sulphur Unit

1690 FM 3505

Sulphur Springs, TX 75482 

Lat: 33.546727

Long: -96.144758

There is a $5 per person entrance fee to get into the park. You can pay at the gate or you purchase a day pass online and print it out ahead of time at Texas State Parks Reservations.

We will be setting up in the Heron Harbor Day Use Area. The picnic benches are covered, but are on a first come first serve basis. Here is a map to our location: Cooper State Park S Sulpher Unit Map

As with most of our previous POTA events there won't be any nearby shore power, so plan on alternate power, battery, solar panel, flux capacitor, etc. For talk-in we'll be monitoring 147.580 mHz, one of the club's designated simplex frequencies. We will also be monitoring the national 146.520mhz simplex frequency. There is no fixed start time, you start operating when you arrive and we’ll operate till early afternoon (assuming we've activated the park by then). Be sure to pack some drinks, food and snacks along with your radio gear.
