[Steve Flowers]

Colleagues,

Good morning.  FYI, in case we discuss this topic during tonight's OFARC 
Net, this is good info regarding club participation in the upcoming 
Winter Field Day 2021:

Winter Field Day runs for 24 hours during the last full weekendin 
January each year from 1900 UTC (2pm EST) Saturday to 1900 UTC (2pm EST) 
Sunday. For 2021 the dates are January 30th and 31st.

...

The Cabrillo Entry template with onlythe requiredfields is as follows: 
(leave other fields blank) /
/

/START-OF-LOG: 3.0 //
/

/Created-By: whatever program you used to make this log
/

///CONTEST: WFD //
/

/CALLSIGN: W8D //
/

/CLUB://club/group name only (read Covid Club/Group Score Notes below) 
//(Leave blank if not part of a group limited by C-19 as described below)//
/

/LOCATION: Toledo, OH
/

///ARRL-SECTION: OH //
/

/CATEGORY: 1O //CATEGORY-POWER: LOW (QRP, LOW or HIGH)/

/.../

/Covid 19 Pandemic scoring changes for Clubs/Groups//: //These changes 
apply //ONLY//to groups who, due to the Pandemic, won’t/can’t be 
congregating to //compete this year. If your group wishes, you may have 
a “group/club” score tallied by having //individual members fill in the 
“CLUB:” line in their Cabrillo log file (//above//). Individual 
//members would send in a log under //their own//callsign (operating 
under their own privileges) //with the name or callsign of the group 
noted on the “CLUB:” line. If a simple callsign is used in //the “club” 
line, it cannot//be one used in the contest or on another member’s entry 
log (//it’ll //confuse the scoring software//). If your group uses a 
club name, be sure to advise everyone in your //group to use the //exact 
same //unique//name//. Choose wisely Grasshopper! There are dozens of 
clubs //with the same abbreviation (as in LARC, PARC, etc), but it’s 
unlikely there’s more than one //Livonia ARC, or Lincoln ARC. Club 
scores will be the aggregate of the individual members’ //scores, 
regardless of how they operated ad will be posted as distinct 
“Club/Group” scores once //tallied. Your individual members’ logs and 
scores will be tallied and posted as well (//each under //their own 
call//), the same as any other entrant. It might be a good idea to have 
someone in your //club/group collect members’ logs and check them to 
ensure the logs are correct before sending //them in. It’ll save us time 
and you aggravation. “Club/Group” scores will likely be the last to be 
//posted as we can’t be sure all the individual logs are in until the 
actual log deadline./
