Texas State Parks on the Air

Texas State Parks on the Air

The event will take place every year on the third weekend of April (except when Easter falls on the third weekend, then the contest is moved to the second weekend of April).  The Lake Area Amateur Radio Klub (K5LRK) enjoyed participating in this event in 2015 and 2016 and were saddened to hear that the initial sponsor Tom King, WK5DX, from Houston, who was running TSPOTA had gone silent key in 2015. The K5LRK club members decided that this was an event that should remain available as it provides a great opportunity for clubs to get out, have fun and enjoy our great state of Texas, so we carry on the torch for Tom! Please join us during this event, in a variety of state parks in Texas as we continue the Texas State Parks on the Air event! 

OPERATING TIME: Operating times are from 1400 UTC on Saturday April 15, to 0200 UTC on Sunday April 16, and from 1400 UTC to 2000 UTC on Sunday April 16, 2023. Stations may work the entire contest period. Stations activating more
than one park can be worked more than once and be counted for each park activation. Check the website for individual stations (Activators) that are activating more than one Texas State Park.
