[K3CAL] Temporary Rule Waivers Announced for 2020 ARRL Field Day 05/28/2020

[Dave]

1)      For Field Day 2020 only, Class D stations may work all other Field Day stations, including other Class D stations, for points.Field Day rule 4.6 defines Class D stations as “Home stations,” including stations operating from permanent or licensed station locations using commercial power. Class D stations ordinarily may only count contacts made with Class A, B, C, E, and F Field Day stations, but the temporary rule waiver for 2020 allows Class D stations to count contacts with other Class D stations for QSO credit.2)      In addition, for 2020 only, an aggregate club score will be published, which will be the sum of all individual entries indicating a specific club (similar to the aggregate score totals used in ARRL affiliated club competitions).Ordinarily, club names are only published in the results for Class A and Class F entries, but the temporary rule waiver for 2020 allows participants from any Class to optionally include a single club name with their submitted results following Field Day.For example, if Podunk Hollow Radio Club members Becky, W1BXY, and Hiram, W1AW, both participate in 2020 Field Day — Hiram from his Class D home station, and Becky from her Class C mobile station — both can include the radio club’s name when reporting their individual results. The published results listing will include individual scores for Hiram and Becky, plus a combined score for all entries identified as Podunk Hollow Radio Club.The temporary rule waivers were adopted by the PSC on May 27, 2020.

1.  So. if you're operating from home you may work other folks working from home also.2.  If you're operating remotely from the club Field Day operations, you may aggregate your your contacts with the clubs contacts.  There is no mention of duplications.  Submit your log and it will be added to the club log and we'll see if the dups count or not.  Or another interpretation is:  you send your own log in but include the club name and then your contacts get aggregated at ARRL. This is my personal interpretation of the rules waivers for this 2020 Field Day.  Your interpretation may differ.  And that's okay.
