A “3-fer” is what the Parks-on-the-Air (POTA) community calls an amateur-radio activation from a site that consists of three park-type entities. On Saturday, October 9th, the SFTARC operated as a POTA 3-fer from Olathe’s Lone Elm Park, simultaneously activating three National Historic Trails: The Santa Fe, Oregon and California Trails. With three stations on the air simultaneously, SFTARC members let the rest of the world “visit” the Lone Elm Park over the air.
