Field Day (27/28 June) is less than three weeks away, are you, your team
and /or club ready?

This year with COVID-19 being ready for Field Day takes on a new level
of meaning and complications. Many clubs have cancelled meetings and
many of us may be feeling more comfortable competing from home or some
remote location as a single operator. Due to this the ARRL has made some
modifications to Field Day participation rules for this year only. You
can review the modification, full rules and well as some FAQ's when
speaking with your club using the links provided below.

Speaking of getting ready for Field Day, give some thought to reaching
out to those you and your club helped get their ticket recently. Extend
them an invitation and help get them on the air, if you are comfortable
with being around others.For many this could be their first ever
contact, for others it may provide the spark to upgrade.

This year due to COVID-19 I will be working with my home club for Field
Day. We are hoping to have many of the young scouts the club has been
helping to receive their licenses while working on the Radio Science
Merit Badge.

I hope that you will all have a wonderful Field Day event and look
forward to working you on the air during the event. Please stay safe and
practice social distancing.
