Field Day 2008 Rules and Forms Now Available It's that time of year again -- time to start gearing up for Field Day, ARRL's flagship operating event. Field Day, held the fourth full weekend in June, brings together new and experienced hams for 24 hours of operating fun. ARRL Field Day Manager Dan Henderson, N1ND, says there are several rules changes this year, mainly concerning "Get on the Air" (GOTA) stations and the elimination of the Demonstration Mode Bonus Category. The complete Field Day Packet can be downloaded from the ARRL Web site. A full 2008 Field Day page on the ARRL Web site will be coming in the next few weeks. |

I've donated a (magnetic) Amber Halogen ResponderR II Light Bar (valued at
$100) to the VOI, expressly for the purpose of awarding it to the ECT member that accumulates the most points, over the course of the next year, as I'll outline below.
I'll assign "points" to each event that the VOI sanctions over the course of the next year. The Bob Lebow Classic will be the first event to be assigned points on JUN 9th, 2007. Points will continue to be assigned to each event, and awarded to each volunteer at those events, continuing through JUN 9th, 2008. The light bar will be awarded to the member with the most points at the General Club Meeting on JUN 11th, 2008.
The contest winner will need to do three things to win the light bar: |
