FLSPOTA 2024 will take place April 6-7, 2024 throughout Florida’s beautiful state parks.
I have updated the rules, with the bonuses being simplified. The only one now is the point bonus for each POTA station you can contact during your operation to support the event goals of encouraging folks to A) get out and operate in the parks and B) try make as many contacts as possible with stations in other Florida state parks, as well as POTA entities, stations in other states’ parks (GA, AL etc.)…basically, let’s make this a weekend to celebrate parks!

We hope you’re excited for FLSPOTA 2021! Due to the cancellation of last year’s event, the 2020 rules updates will take effect this year:
Note: A previous version of this graphic incorrectly listed contacts as once per band/mode/activated park. The FLSPOTA rules state that stations may be worked once per band and activated park, and the graphic has been updated.

Greetings and Happy New Year to our friends in the Florida amateur radio community! We are pleased to announce that the next Florida State Parks on the Air event will take place the weekend of April 3-4, 2021.
Last year, we made the difficult decision to indefinitely postpone the event due to COVID-19 and the temporary closure of all Florida State Parks. Today, most state parks and campgrounds have reopened for normal use and we have decided to proceed with this year’s event with a few recommended modifications:
The planned rule revisions for 2020 will now be effective this year. These changes include the addition of a QRP category, revision of the scoring system, and simplified entry categories. These changes are covered in greater depth in this post.
We thank everyone for their understanding and we look forward to getting you in the log this April! As always, please send your activation plans to activations@flspota.org so we can publish them.
The FLSPOTA team – Matt NJ4Y, Corey N4FQ, and Ben N4BLH
