Unfortunately the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will not allow us to hold Field Day in the traditional way this year. The ARRL has issued Temporary Rule Waivers for the 2020 event as well as Field Day 2020 FAQs to allow the event to continue in a safe, socially distant way. Highlights include:
- Class D (home) stations can now contact other Class D stations for QSO credit.
- Club scores will be aggregated. Use your own call sign and submit your score with the club “Schaumburg Amateur Radio Club” (no abbreviations) to the ARRL.
Taking into account the modified rules the club’s board has diverted funds typically used for field day equipment and food and created a club-wide contest including prizes.
