Pubs & Clubs On The Air – PACOTA

Pubs & Clubs On The Air May 13th/14th/15th 2022

The fairly recent wave of “OTA” events, be it Summits, Museums, Railways, Churches, Mills, JOTA etc, seems to be a good way of spreading the word of Amateur Radio to the general public, and hopefully increasing our numbers.

As well as increasing Amateur numbers it may help to attract more regulars, something everyone in this trade would probably welcome. The event took place in May 2018. Six Stations took part, this year we added to that list with 10 stations taking part.
