Beginning in January, 2026 the committee will begin an aggressive advertising campaign to promote this event to the amateur radio community in Florida and, via ARRL resources, to the nation as well. Our hope is to attract 100’s of participating individuals and clubs, and to come close to activating all 174 eligible park entities in the State.
