2014 Keith Roget Memorial National Parks activation weekend

Posted on by

This weekend is the annual activation weekend for the Keith Roget Memorial National Parks Award (KRMNPA).  As it turns out there is also a VK Spring Summits on the Air (SOTA) Party being held this weekend as well.

So this is a fantastic opportunity to work a stack of parks that qualify for KRMNPA and the World Wide Flora Fauna (WWFF) program, and SOTA summits.
