Register an Activation

Activators, please register, below, the parks and category you plan to operate. And don't forget to read the contest rules.

Also, please read these tips to make sure your ADIF log is formatted correctly before submitting your logs:

In addition to the standard QSO fields (qso_date, time_on, call, freq, mode, station_callsign) the following fields below are required. All POTA loggers will add these fields, so if you are already using an app like HAMRS, ACLog, or PoLo you're all set.  Make sure the "US-" prefix is present for all park reference numbers; "US-3051" is valid, "3051" is not.

• my_sig_info is required for every activator QSO. This field indicates the activated park identifier.

• sig_info is required for every activator Park to Park QSO. This field indicates the park that was worked.

Special Note for Activators: In some cases the the my_sig_info field may not be in the log, like in wsjtx logs, so as long as the log file name is named [callsign]@[park-id] (example: KE5CW@US-3051) the online log uploader will fall back to using the park-id in the filename. Also, if for some reason the station_callsign field is missing, the callsign from the log file name will be used.

Note: Even if you use the log file name in place of the my_sig_info field, the sig_info will still need to be present for any park to park credit.
