Safety signage for wire antennas when doing POTA

Generic sign

Since getting into POTA I’ve had a lot of fun combining my interests in nature, radio and computers. I’ve also had a few snags, literally. 

I’ve had my wires do battle with drones, kites,  fishing rods and over-sized RVs with way more on top than they should have (like bikes).

So, what’s the answer? A sign! If you use Canva, you can edit the following file and put your call sign on it, as I did. See the link below.

There’s also links to generic files in PNG and PDF printable formats for downloading. 

I got the signs printed via Vistaprint. They are double sided and roughly 42 cm by 60 cm. I got a pair for $105 delivered. The signs were $85 and the yard sign stands were $20 (Australian currency).

It’s all done online. Just upload and order and they’ll come a week later. Start in the”Corflute Signs” section of Vistaprint.
