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 weekend in 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 only the required fields 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.
