Campsites on The Air (COTA) is portable radio operation when car camping for one or more nights. Although, it can use the same equipment as POTA and SOTA, often it enables a lot more potential for contacts given provisions for using higher power and utilizing more extensive antennas. This presentation focuses on the equipment that can be carried in addition to camping gear to make setting up and long-term operations efficient.
