PTOTA - Public Transport on the Air

PTOTA is a programme run by SARCNET in Australia.

​

It's easy: Next time you are planning a public transport journey just remember to take along your VHF/UHF handheld Amateur Radio. From the minute you leave home to the time you arrive back, you are activating one or more public transport routes and can make PTOTA contacts. You can use any mode, any repeater or linked system.

​

I have a penchant for choosing slightly more obscure methods/routes for my PTOTA activations, rather than a run-of-the-mill bus route.

​

To check out some interesting public transport options I've PTOTA'd on check out the PTOTA pages in my xOTA Blog.
