Good Day Hamsters!
When you're working Field Day stations from home...if you have been or plan to be an operator at the TVARC Field Day Site this year, please do NOT work K4VRC or K2DM (the GOTA Station) when you hear them. If you have packet cluster access and someone's calling CQ at the TVARC site...please spot them!
If you will NOT be an operator at the TVARC site, work K2DM and K4VRC early and often.
Apparently, there's an ARRL Field Day rule in the fine print to prevent this. Seems fair to me.
One of my Thursday or Friday morning projects will be to put together a brief illustrated narrative to assist you with setting up the N1MM Contest Logging Program so that you can log your CW and SSB Field Day Contacts. It will be posted at www.k4vrc.com under the Field Day tab. It will be in PDF format, so you may print it out at your convenience.
My instructions will assume that you have already done that.
I believe Paul Nittel and/or George Briggs have already done this for those of you who are using WSJT-X for FT8 QSOs without N1MM Logger. K2DM's screenshots are on www.k4vrc.com...under the Field Day tab.
On Sunday or Monday, I'll send another illustrated narrative on the process of exporting your log to create a Cabrillo Log which can be submitted to the ARRL. Also included will be the process of submitting your Field Day log to the ARRL via www.arrl.org
But if you're having trany ouble figuring that out, even after my most excellent explanation...you may bring your laptop to the July meeting...and there will be a couple of N1MM gurus ready to walk you through the process and get your log submitted.
The Field Day log submission deadline is July 29th.
Let's have a great TVARC Field Day this year!
