This themed activation will once again feature our experienced POTA Jedi Council, guiding attendees through hands-on Parks on the Air (POTA) operations, answering questions, and helping hams of all levels make meaningful contacts.

Fuel Your Inner Force
Food and refreshments will be provided throughout the day, so come hungry and ready to enjoy the galaxy’s tastiest snacks while chatting and chasing contacts!
Bring your curiosity, your radio gear (if you’d like), and your best sci-fi spirit. Whether you’re logging contacts, exploring the POTA universe for the first time, or just there to soak in the atmosphere—there’s a frequency for everyone.
