Chris:
There are a lot of QRP Lab customers who use their QCX's in SOTA, IOTA, and POTA activations. I own 4 QCX's and have operated from parks in the past. LOTA would just be another way that Hans' customers can enjoy their rigs. If this thread makes you unhappy, hit the Mute button.

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!)
