POSITIONS!Positions is a bad choice of words. But I can not think of anythng better right now. If you can please tell me!
This page will show us more or less, Who is Coming, Who is bringing what, Who is doing what.
Of
course the big "Positions" are the radio stations. As seen below we
will have three types and a GOTA station.
The GOTA can run any mode. It is the beginner station. One we can even use to let the general public visitors to get on the air and make some contacts also. So who wants to bring what for one of the types of stations?
Use the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page to tell us what you want to do.
Here are the current stations and their Locations. Anyone's Call in RED we still need your help to determine
the best location at the site for them depending on modes and antennas. Here is a map to visualize the site.
There are sooo many Bonus points available, that if we were to earn them all,
It would be the same in points as making 1900 Phone contacts!
Listed here are all of the possible Bonus points, Listed next to them will be the Call (if they have one)
and Name of who will be trying to earn that bonus for us. If no call or name is listed, that means no one
has stepped forward to say they will try to get it for us. So if you see a blank one and think you can do it tell us!
The Bonus points are named here and in the ARRL Official Field Day Rules Packet.
For details of each Bonus, you will need to read about it in the packet.
The latest packet can be downloaded here. 2025FD-Packet.

Like the Yellow Line. W9LMC because of Tent AND the Delta loop needs to be out in the open so it can be rotated and not hit the trees. WD9EXD is our VHF/UHF Station.
