Fellow ARES/RACES/NTS members,

Please pass the following information along to your respective Field Day
Chairpersons:

Field Day Message Origination
The 2003 ARRL Field Day Rule 7.3.5 concerns Message Origination. It
states:
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 2003 ARRL Field Day Rule 7.3.6 concerns Message Handling. It states:
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.
If your group is planning to earn the 100-point bonus for message
origination by sending a message to the MDC SM and/or SEC you may desire
to
use the following means to ensure that your message reaches its
destination.
W3AO will be operating Field Day from Marriottsville MD and will monitor
the WRN and CRN repeater frequencies to receive Field Day messages
addressed to the SM and/or SEC. For purposes of beam pointing,
Marriottsville is about 15 miles west of Baltimore. W3AO will monitor the
repeater frequencies according to the following schedule:
Saturday 28 June 1700L 147.105 (CRN)
1900L 147.090 (WRN)
2100L 147.105
2300L 147.090
Sunday 29 June 0900L 147.105
1100L 147.090
They will monitor this frequency indicated for fifteen minutes
beginning at each of these times. W3AO will hold all messages received
and
relay them to the SEC several times during the Field Day period. All
Field Day participants in MDC are invited to use this service to reliably
forward messages to the MDC SM and/or SEC.
Good luck to all in the contest.

73,
Mike/WA1QAA
