[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] FW: [N3FJPSoftware] Field Day Log 6.3 is Now Available for New 2020 FD Rule Changes!

Fri May 29 14:21:44 EDT 2020

All,
N3FJP is great software.  We have a "free" license for use with the club
callsign W4HFH.  But for this Field Day you'll be operating with your own
callsign so you need a paid version.
73, Ian
