> Bill related to me that when the issue of Field Day was discussed,
> there were two concerns.  First, each Field Day group gains an
> additional 100 points for originating a radiogram to the Section
> Manager.  In view of Charles’s tragedy, it was unclear as to whom the
> radiogram should be sent.  Second, there was a concern by some whether
> or not WV Field Day groups should just decide to cancel their plans due
> to the tragedy.
> 
> First, the 2015 Field Day rules on the radiogram are as follows:
> 
>  7.3.5. Message Origination to Section Manager: 100 bonus points for
> origination of a 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 copy of it must be
> included in your submission in standard ARRL radiogram or no credit
> will be given. The message must leave or enter the Field Day operation
> via amateur radio RF. 
> 
> So, your group can send your radiogram to the Section Emergency
> Coordinator.  I have also confirmed with ARRL HQ that in the absence of
> a Section Manager, you may send me your radiogram and still claim
> credit.
