Are You Actually Getting Better at POTA

Are You Actually Getting Better at POTA?You’ve logged more parks. Made more contacts. Bought better gear. Earned some awards.But are you actually becoming a better POTA operator?This week on Brew & Activate, Eric N1JUR and Shannon KC1OHT are looking beyond activation counts and asking what operator improvement really looks like.We're talking about the POTA skills nobody keeps track of: troubleshooting, propagation, pileup management, antenna decisions, adaptability, operating efficiency, mentoring and knowing what to do when the activation absolutely refuses to follow the plan.We'll build the POTA Skill Tree, put ourselves through the POTA Combine, talk about the difference between DOING POTA and PRACTICING POTA, and challenge the Brew Crew to deliberately improve one skill over their next ten activations.The big question:What can you do today that you couldn't do on your first POTA activation?Join us LIVE Friday at 10 AM Eastern and bring your answers.Brew & ActivateHosted by Eric N1JUR and Shannon KC1OHTJoin the conversation, hang out with the Brew Crew, and check out the links below for the Discord community, memberships, Patreon and more.#POTA #ParksOnTheAir #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #PortableHamRadio━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📡 KEEP UP WITH N1JURPractical ham radio videos, operating guides, equipment reviews, community projects, and Field Notes from around the hobby.🌐 Explore N1JURhttps://n1jur.com📬 Join the free Field Notes Newsletterhttps://n1jur.com/newsletter━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🤝 GET MORE INVOLVED⭐ Become a YouTube Channel Memberhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBBAnDZb9q0hDFNEIUuOVDQ/join🛠️ Follow exclusive builds, projects, and mentoring on Patreonhttps://patreon.com/cw/n1jur━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🎒 GEAR, PARTNERS & DISCOUNTSSee the radios, antennas, batteries, accessories, and production equipment I use:https://n1jur.com/gearFind available partner discounts and special offers:https://n1jur.com/discounts━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━👕 WEAR SOMETHING WEIRDN1JUR, POTA, and ham radio shirts, mugs, stickers, and more:https://makerfweird.com━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔗 LINKS FROM THIS VIDEOBrew and Activate Live Stream - Are you getting better at POTA?➡️ https://youtube.com/live/JVJa8kDgXwE?feature=share
