#pota Neat little POTA tool released for Android shows nearby parks and some info.

Are there any recommended for iOS? (I have HamRS for logging.)

I'd love one that also has enough information to define a station location in TQSL. I did some activations this week and initially had the wrong county (Kitsap v Mason).

On my way back from @cposc today I did my first #POTA activation since November! I took the advice of @tswartz07 and visited Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, aka PA State Game Lands 46, aka US-8745. Outside of hunting season seems to basically be a state park and a Mecca for bird watchers. There’s a nice visitor’s center with a view of a picturesque reservoir, and a spacious parking lot right outside to set up your station. #hamradio

Holy cow this weekend was insane on HF. I ended up with 142 SSB POTA contacts, on all bands from 40 meters to 10 meters. It was so much fun! The colors are listed in the image's ALT text. I think I need a vacation after all that!

Next up the #POTA activation in Glanteenassig Forest Park. There was so much rain. I started off calling into the HF IRTS news. But soon the QSOs slowed way down. #amateurradio
Saying goodbye to Dingale and starting my plan of cycling the Conor Pass and two #pota activations with around 60 km cycle to Tralee to get the train home
