[ILHam] 300 points for Field Day

[joe tokarz]

With your help, we can develop a 147.555 EOC-EOC packet
network in Illinois.

Reply to kb9ezz at arrl.net with UI-Map in the subject
and I will send you the current network map suitable
for UI-View.

May I suggest we use 147.555 packet during Field Day.
We can show our emergency managers that we can
assemble a protable packet node capable of reaching
all of Illinois and that a permanent 147.555 network
would enhance emergency communications throughout
Illinois.

Please add FD07 to your beacon text to show you are a
temporary FD station..

If the SM or SEC are at your Field Day site, please
show a circle S symbol if you are running a 144.39
APRS station.

73 and many thanks

These are 100 points each:

7.3.5. Message Origination to Section Manager: 100
bonus points for origination of a National Traffic
System (NTS) style formal message to the ARRL Section
Manager or Section Emergency Coordinator by your group
from its site. You should include the club name,
number of participants, Field Day location, and number
of ARES operators involved with your station. The
message must be transmitted during the Field Day
period and a fully serviced copy of it must be
included in your submission, in standard ARRL NTS
format, or no credit will be given. The Section
Manager message is separate from the messages handled
in Rule 7.3.6. and may not be claimed for bonus points
under that rule. Available to all Classes.

7.3.6. Message Handling: 10 points for each formal NTS
style originated, relayed or received and delivered
during the Field Day period, up to a maximum of 100
points (ten messages). Properly serviced copies of
each message must be included with the Field Day
report. The message to the ARRL SM or SEC under Rule
7.3.6. does not be count towards the total of 10 for
this bonus. Available to all Classes. All NTS messages
claimed for bonus points must leave or enter the site
via amateur radio RF.

7.3.10. Non-Traditional Mode Demonstrations: A maximum
of 300 bonus points (100 points for each demonstration
up to three) for setting up a demonstration of a
non-traditional mode of amateur radio communications.
This includes modes such as APRS, ATV, and SSTV.
Available to Classes A, B, and F.
7.3.10.2. A complete portable packet system may be
included as one of the demonstration modes. This
system must include a temporary, portable node and
must be completely separate from the existing packet
infrastructure of your area. Simply setting up a
packet station does not qualify as a demonstration
mode.
7.3.10.3. Demonstration modes must use the amateur
radio spectrum at the point of the demonstration.
