Outdoor Amateur Radio Forum

Outdoor amateur radio is incredibly versatile and a lot of fun. Transceivers are often tiny, antennas simple yet highly efficient, and the entire setup fits into a light backpack. A wide range of xOTA (x-any On The Air) award programs makes it easy to get involved and earn attractive awards, whether you’re activating, hunting, or both. You can walk, cycle, or take public transport to a nearby xOTA spot and enjoy amateur radio outdoors, where every activation becomes a small adventure with almost guaranteed mini pile-ups — even with QRP. This forum is a meeting point for all outdoor radio enthusiasts.
