activities are covered elsewhere in the wiki, because they belong to a larger topic:
 
## Elsewhere in the wiki
 
- [Parks and summits](/wiki/operating/parks-and-summits) — POTA, SOTA and the portable programs that
have quietly become the most popular activity in the hobby.
- [Contesting](/wiki/operating/contesting), and the
[contests and awards](/wiki/contests-and-awards) you can chase alongside it.
- [Emergency communications](/wiki/emergency) — parades, marathons, bike rides and storm spotting are
covered there, because the training and the discipline are the same.
- [Clubs and community](/wiki/clubs) — nets, build nights, license classes and everything else a club
puts on between the big events.
 
## NARA events
 
[Club Week](https://usnara.org/programs/club-week) is NARA's own week-long, non-contest event, built
around clubs contacting clubs and exchanging QSL cards — a relaxed way to put a newly licensed
operator on HF for the first time.
