2025 Meetup Success
The 2025 Michigan POTA Meetup at Fort Custer State Recreation Area exceeded all our expectations! With over 80 attendees and more than 30 people camping for the weekend, it truly became a community celebration. The POTA community is vibrant, and our diverse community was on full display. Michigan and the surrounding areas is a hub for POTA, and we think it shows!
The Whiteford Lake Shelter was buzzing with activity as operators set up stations, shared technical knowledge, and welcomed newcomers to the hobby. From seasoned POTA veterans to brand new hams getting their first park activation, the energy and camaraderie were amazing.
Special Thanks
We're grateful to Ham Stuff Online (hamstuffonline.com) for their generous donation of items for our free raffle, and to the Southern Michigan Amateur Radio Society (SMARS) for donating to the raffle as well as showing us all around their home POTA park.
A huge thank you to all those who volunteered during the event, brought a dish to pass, or supported with the preparation in some way. Special recognition goes to the South Lyon Area Amateur Radio Club, whose members showed up in force to volunteer their time. Without you we couldn't have brought the community together, and you made this a wonderful event.

Until next year, keep those signals strong and those parks activated!
