Here’s another fun Field Day fact for home operators:
Miscellaneous rule 6.1 states that “A person may not contact for QSO credit any station from which they also participate.” So, if you make one or more contacts operating at the TVARC Field Day site, you cannot also make a contact with K4VRC (or the GOTA station, K2DM) from home.

If I can add to Kym’s comments about operating from home:

 

  • The rules specify a max of 100W for class D (home) and E (home w/emergency power).  If you use your amp, I’m thinking that your score won’t count.
  • And since you’re only running 100W, your power multiplier will be 2 (unless QRP).
  • You can get another 100-point bonus by using emergency power – so if you have a battery that you use for POTA, hook that up.

Subject: [TVARC] FIELD DAY - EXTRA POINTS FOR HOME OPERATORS

 

77 HOURS until FIELD DAY!

 

Are you thinking about helping the club from home?  Use your favorite mode (FT8, PHONE, or, CW) for your QSOs. 

 

An easy way to add 100 points on top of your QSO score is to copy the field day bulletin.  

 

You can use phone, digital or CW.   If using phone, use your cell phone to record message.  

 

 You will need to have message typed out to submit to ARRL.  

 

Below is the times and frequencies for the bulletin.  

 

Give it a try!
