Portable HF logging workflow notes
Notes on logging workflow for portable HF operations, including what to capture in the field and how to clean up the log afterward.
New to POTA?
POTA — Parks on the Air — an amateur radio program where licensed operators make contacts from designated public lands (national parks, state parks, wildlife refuges, and similar areas). Each location has a reference number. To activate a park, you log at least 10 contacts from within its boundaries. Hunters are operators who contact activators from home.
Portable radio work has a lot in common with developer tooling: the workflow has to survive imperfect conditions, tired operators, and small mistakes.
This note is a marker for the kind of radio content that belongs here: concrete setup notes, what changed, what failed, and what should be repeated next time.
