⛰️ Summits on the Air (SOTA)
SOTA activators operate from mountain summits instead of parks. For live summit spots, open SOTAwatch, the official SOTA spotting site. Live SOTA spots will be added here once we confirm the terms of SOTA’s new data service.
How to Work a Park Activator
First, pick a spot near the top of the list and tune to its frequency and mode. Next, listen for the activator calling “CQ POTA.” Then give your callsign once, and they will reply with a signal report. Finally, log the contact. Each park you work counts toward hunter awards on pota.app.
Activate a Park Yourself
New Jersey has many parks in the POTA program, including several in Atlantic, Cape May and Burlington counties. A portable radio, a simple wire antenna and ten contacts are all it takes to activate one. Ask about it at a club meeting, and an experienced member will gladly go with you on your first activation.
