Park to Park entry

If I enter a WWFF reference as a P2P, will Polo fill in the POTA reference?

Hi Graham,
Short answer - no. PoLo does not maintain a pairing list for parks across both programs.
Long Answer. But a lot of (more and more these days) OPs are dual activating so they put both parks in their operation. If you and they do this, then your and their spots are merged by PoLo.
So, if you tap on a merged spot, PoLo will fill in both references along with the frequency, mode etc details so there is no need for you to do it.
The only other ways to get the other reference is 1) to ask them, or 2) to use mParks converter to convert a POTA log to a WWFF log (or vice versa), or 3) use the pairing list maintained via mParks and published by N3KAE/Al here: Dual-Parks - CQ Parks.net

This is a merged POTA and SOTA spot.

PoLo will generate a separate SOTA hunter log for this QSO when you are activating only a POTA park.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your rapid response. I’ll be ready for my next activation.
