    Depending on the state of the castle, could be ROTA - Ruins On the Air

    TOTA - Trucks On The Air
    or could be Tower On The Air, when operating atop a decommisioned radio station tower
    HOTA - Helicopters On The Air
    or could be Hovercraft On The Air?
    MOTA - Motorbikes On The Air

    Sailor myself but this all has gone to far. It's like the gender reveal stuff going on. Maybe like that we could have 80# of tannerite on the air. Make short work of all those posers.

    And I just sold my Catalina 30 last Friday. Dang it! If I can requisition my buddy's Catalina 30, perhaps we can work boat-to-boat.

    I will be activating my HOTA station (Hams On The Air) this weekend. HOTA to HOTA contacts preferred. Rather than using the boring old school CQ, listen for my snappy CQ HOTA.

    maybe not the best timing, maybe not so bad either...

    we have not yet decided whether to activate the SS Red Oak Victory NY6CI for Museum Ships Weekend. I will try to round up the usual crew.

    BOTA looks fun. The more OTA activities the better, IMO.

    But the satellite guys put dibs on one of the best tongue-in-cheeky events & its acronym - Walmart Parking Lots ie WMPLOTA :p

    Hope they get it back up this July after taking The Pandemic Year off.

    Let's not forget ROTA. Not Rota, Spain, but Routers On The Air for the IP crowd on DMR/Death-Star/Echolink/IRLP. Sometimes confused with RVs On The Air - ROTA.

    JOTA is already known as Jamboree On The Air with the Boy and Girl Scouts.
