POTA activation with Ham Sticks
Radio amateurs (hams) who pursue POTA (Parks On the Air) operations will find this video from K3JRZ interesting. The antenna featured in this program is the simple MFJ-1620T, a "Ham Stick" variant which has proven popular with hams worldwide.

Here are a few comments from K3JRZ: Contacts from my Parks On The Air (POTA) activation of K-1741 Lum Pond State Park in Bear, Delaware on 08/07/2021. This day I was testing out my newly purchased MFJ 1620T and 1640T ham sticks, but I only got to use the 20m ham stick. Stopping by was local ham Vincent KC3NLQ and another special guest at the end of the video, so stick around for that! Thank you to all of the hunters and POTA activators for making this a successful activation! Equipment Used: Radio: Yaesu FT-991 Antenna: MFJ MFJ-16
