How To Activate POTA When The Bands Are Dead

I Went To Pacific Beach, WA To Play Radio. While There, We Had A Huge Solar Flare That Killed The Bands. That Didn't Stop Us From Activating.

Hi Mike,
That's an innovative way to activate a park with all the QSO's park to park. I'm off the air for an unknown amount of time. Sold my FTdx10. Getting it packed up and will ship it out tomorrow. Stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Awesome weekend man. Was happy to work the parks with you. Can't wait until PacBeach25.

[@hamradiotube]

Heck yeah man, good times! Great to get you in the log lol!

[@K6ARK]

Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that the bands here are only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
Get on VHF and hope your friends are listening.

[@hamradiotube]

HAHAHA!! Think it'll work? It would take a miracle.

[@wanderingural9308]

Epic PB reference. You win.

[@TravelinHam]

The bands: I’m not dead yet. I think I might pull through!

[@kenchilton]

I used to think POTA was kind of silly. Thanks for proving that, relatively speaking, it is not so silly. 😂

[@jeffsturman7246]

That was awesome guys! Hilarious😂.

[@dougdaniels]

Excellent choice of frequencies, as well as timely use of f-bombs. 🤣

[@RobCanada]

It took me a while to catch on what was going on. :)

[@brucew9533]

So with 3 operators in the same park with 3 stations and 3 operators per station you could talk to yourself at somepoint for a contact. Lmao

[@hpcalhoun]

Just here for the comments because I know they are coming.

[@mattmiegel]

i am thinking about going to a park today I think that sounds strange.If you're not into into pota

[@dorvinion]

The comments will no doubt create an epic sad-ham video
Monetize the haters

[@sassycommentfactory]

I just listen to American Pie. Makes me feel a little better about the dead bands.

[@PaulK7VIQ]

Future wannabe CW POTA ham. I did not realize you could just change frequencies and consider each as a new contact.
