Sign up for an outdoor radio activity program and make a successful activation or hunt at least 10 stations!

There is a plethora of outdoor activity programs these days: SOTA, POTA, COTA, IOTA and even Toilets On The Air (though this mostly happens indoors HI). Chose one that you didn't yet sign up for and complete the challenge. How does it work? Was it easy to make contacts? Which references did you activate or hunt?
