Hi Chuck.? ?is the best place to get started.? You can find all the details there.? I have really gotten into POTA over the last few years.? I use N1MM+ in the field.? There are a couple
of POTA specific UDCs available.? When I get home, I import the adif file I generate from N1MM into DXKeeper.? I have made a separate "MyQTH" entry, along with a new LoTW station location? for each POTA site I activate.? ?That is the only way to do it to keep
everything straight.? I always pay attention to the grid square and county for my activations so anyone that is chasing those can have that info.? I only use one radio for POTA, so that's not a thing for me.? The required adif fields for POTA can be found
at
It looks like you're mainly a CW op, but if you plan on doing any SSB, you will probably want a 100-watt radio in your kit.? Lots of POTA operators like the Yaesu FT-891.
Be careful, POTA is very addictive!
Let me know if you have any further questions.

The local radio club is starting to get POTA active, and I am going to give it a try.? I own a few small rigs suitable for very lightweight work, including a small 40M monobander and a KX1.??
I would like to be able to import my logs from my POTA ops to my main log without causing LOTW errors due to mangled MyQTH's, LOTW station locations, Rig names etc.??
Is there a document of best practices for POTA logging?? I know it's been discussed before but I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been!
