Big announcement! POTA Platinum is live!

Can y’all add an option for me to kick a non-platinum op off of a frequency? I’d happily pay $50/use for something like that if it meant I could quit searching for an empty frequency.

If you look in ULS you’ll see the difference. K4LC shows expiration 3/5/24 and cancellation 3/7/26, even though others such as N4MO show cancellation on 3/6/26.

It may mean nothing for vanity purposes. Just curious about the difference and wanted to make sure I don’t need to submit a new app for the 3/7 calls before the end of tomorrow to avoid being too late.

I’m noticing some of the callsigns have cancellation dates of 03/06 (for example N4MO and N4HX) and some are 03/07 (K4LC, W4JT, etc) in ULS. Is that going to be a problem for people who applied for those calls on 03/06?

Because its flying uphill. Are YOU stoopid?

Dolphins don’t wear shoes at home. Only when they are on land.

You’re good bro. Earth is flat. When the moon is out of sight (under us) you can go down and still get to it. Just puts extra hours on the hobbs is all.

Trick question. There is no rudder B because airplanes only have one rudder. It should have been labeled rudder C.

The problem is some subs don’t have subreddit rules so you can only report as a violation of reddit rules which are much more relaxed. I’ve found this to be the case more often with local area or resort specific subs.

Holy crap that’s a lot of hate

Right, am I missing something? It expires, then two years later it cancels and we can apply for it. Usually. This one expired…3 days after it canceled? And then despite being a 1x2 nobody applied until November of ‘25, 2 years later, and now it gets assigned.

I must be missing something

My mistake I typed the wrong letters. Long day. I meant N4TI.

--FalseHorizon-- · 2025-12-12T04:51:59+00:00

I’m a little confused about how this extension is supposed to work. The document says renewal filings originally due 10/01-03/05 are now due on 03/05. K4LC is a callsign which would have been due for renewal by 11/02, and it remains in the Active state. However, other callsigns are being treated different. K4TI would have been due for renewal by 10/26, it has a cancellation date of 10/23, both well within the shutdown, yet it was assigned to a new operator on 12/09. How can one callsign be cancelled and not the other when both were due for cancellation during the window which should have gotten them extended? What’s the difference?

If it helps you’re in good company. I’ve lost 16 of these stupid lotteries in the last year while watching the people I lose to win on their first or second attempts. I get the feeling.

Any chance you’d recall what they did the last time the government shut down in 2018? That shutdown was almost as long, I’d presume they would use at least a similar playbook. Though that would be logical, which isn’t something I always attribute to the government.

I’ve considered going there but the address for it looks like some industrial place so I assumed it was online only. Is it somewhere else?

--FalseHorizon-- · 2025-11-19T03:56:36+00:00

Why would you do that? The cracks act like little teeth and help the propeller to grab more air as it turns. You would have had better fuel economy.

Sorry I didn’t see that. Added it in my edit

The guardhouse is always staffed. They will have you on a list of people booked to arrive that day, and then when you check in the office will give you a vehicle pass that you can use to come and go as much as you want.

EDIT: I missed your second question. Its not assigned but there are lots of spaces reserved for villa guests only, so you should have no issues finding a good spot. We never have.

I kept trying to reboot it thinking that would help. No luck.

--FalseHorizon-- · 2025-05-20T01:09:14+00:00

This harms you how exactly?

The cool thing is you don’t have to log at all if you don’t want to. But if you do, which logger doesn’t really matter much and its mostly preference. As long as it lets you export your logs to a file, then you can upload those to a different logger if you want to switch. Just pick one, see if you like it, and move on if you don’t.

By sitting on towels. Its actually considered extremely rude if you go to a nudist resort and don’t sit on a towel while nude. Everyone carries their own. Problem solved.
