Just finished Winter Field Day, now it's time to start thinking about Summer Field Day!
Big Question: will we be able to gather in an actual field somewhere this year? I don't know but I hope so.
ARRL announced a few rule changes today. Summary:
- Maximum allowable power: now 100W PEP
- Class D home stations can contact other Class Ds for points: now a permanent rule
- Club aggregate scoring scheme: now a permanent rule
- To earn the publicity bonus you have to actually get some publicity & prove it, not just try to get it (i.e. just sending out a press release not good enough)
I attached the text of the announcement from the ARRL website.
