Field Day Aggregate Club Score

2023-06-09 by Rev. Fr. Robert Bower W9RWB WRPH745

Want to help MARC during Field Day but you cannot make it down to Henry Frank Park?

If you are operating on Field Day and submitting your score you can include a single club name with your score. See the information below from section 7 of the ARRL Field Day 2023 Rules.

Taken from Section 7 of the Field Rules 2023:

Aggregate Club Score: An aggregate club score will also be published, which will be the sum of all individual entries indicating a specific club (similar to the aggregate score totals used in ARRL affiliated club competitions). Participants from any Class can optionally include a single club name with their submitted results following Field Day. For example, if Podunk Hollow Radio Club members Becky, W1BXY, and Hiram, W1AW, both participate in 2023 Field Day – Hiram from his Class D home station, and Becky from her Class C mobile station – both can include the radio club’s name when reporting their individual results. The published results listing will include individual scores for Hiram and Becky, plus a combined score for all entries identified as Podunk Hollow Radio Club.

So if you are operating during Field Day but cannot join us please consider including the club's name when reporting your individual results.

Recap POTA Plaque Event

2023-06-09 by Rev. Fr. Robert Bower W9RWB WRPH745

I am a little late with this post but as they say better late than never. The weekend of June third and fourth was the annual POTA Plaque event. I was able to activate both Potato Creek State Park, K-2265 and Chamberlain Lake State Nature Preserve, K-4189. I had a total of thirty-seven FT8 contacts. While not a lot of contacts I was able to make a QSO with 7N1FRE in grid square QM05, which made my day, as it is my longest contact so far.
