Field Day 2020
Field Day 2020 will look very different this year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
ARRL Field Day team has defined some new rules for this year.
1) For Field Day 2020 only, Class D stations may work all other Field Day stations, including other Class D stations, for points.
2) In addition, for 2020 only, an aggregate club score will 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).
Details of the temporary rule changes from ARRL can be found here.
As we develop our own YRARC plans for handling these new rules the changes will be found here.
