>From this weeks ARRL Contest Update:<br>
If you enjoyed the ARRL Centennial operating activities, you'll likely flip
over the upcoming <a
href="http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-national-parks-on-the-air-event-to-mark-national-park-service-centennial">National
Parks on the Air event</a>, which starts January 1, 2016. The year 2016 is the
100<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the National Parks Service. If you like
operating outside, setting up field-day style operations, you can activate
National Parks, National Battlefields, Historic Sites, Memorials, Preserves,
Reserves, Rivers, Seashores, National Scenic Trails, and the like. You'll be
"chased" by those working you, and all scores will be reflected in an
on-line <a href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\Mark\LOCALS~1\Temp\npota.arrl.org">NPOTA
leader board</a> based on the LotW data. Examining the list of qualifying
locations, I'm betting there will be some that will be extremely rare due to
access, size, and/or appropriateness.<br>
