Re: "Walmart Parking Lots on The Air" - WOTA

What does any of this have to do with QRP Labs? As far as I know, QRP Labs is not selling wineries, lakes, Waffle Houses or Walmarts.

Take this thread elsewhere.

Gee I've always hoped we'd get Wineries on the Air. There are over 10,000 bonded wineries in the US and at least one in every state.?

I just read a thread on here regarding a potential "Lakes On The Air" and why not - I actually live steps from a Lake and could activate regularly!

That said I also live about a mile from a Walmart - 10 minutes by bicycle!

As I see it THIS has more advantages (especially for 'mature' operators) there are "washrooms", food, medical supplies and some even have a McDonalds - and What a Promo for Ham-Radio!

And the beauty of this is a lot the pre-work has already been done - every Walmart has a store number!!!

Imagine saying to the XYL - just off to Walmart (need anything?) and returning an hour or so later with 10 Activation's and a carton of milk!?

Activations could be on VHF/UHF and HF and YEAR ROUND - operating from that quiet corner of the parking lot - you know, where the RV's Park!

Probably follow a similar set of guidelines to POTA? (or become an 'honorable non-employee of the Month' and have your pic in the lobby!)
