Field Day 2020 is now over and you have until Tuesday, July 28th to submit your log and bonus points. Members can find details in our Field Day Forum on the bonus points that we achieved as a group. Here are some guidelines on how to submit your score.
Steps to Submit your Score
- Export a Cabrillo file from your logging software
- Capture the breakdown of your score by band and mode from your logging program. For N1MM it is the score window.
- Collect the evidence required for your bonus points:
- Natural Power Bonus – List of QSOs made on natural power
- Formal messaging – Copies of each message you originated, relayed or received (up to 10)
- Message to ARRL Section Manager (Copy of fully serviced message)
- Field Day Bulletin – an accurate copy of the message
- Publicity from the local media – a copy of a press release sent to the local media or a copy of the actual media publicity received.
- You can submit your score via the web form provided by ARRL. The link to this is http://field-day.arrl.org/fdentry.php
- On the web form, fill in your information (Call, ARRL Section, Number of Participants, Entry Class, etc.) For the Club or Group Name, you can enter Nashua Area Radio Society so that your points count toward our club score.
- Check off the bonus points that you earned and upload the documents that you collected in step 3.
- Use the score breakdown from your logger to fill in the Band/Mode QSO Breakdown. Note that you may need to combine your QSOs from multiple digital modes on each band to fill in the Digital QSO columns. For example, in the Score window illustrated above, on 40 meters, we had 128 FT4 QSOs and 9 FT8 QSOS, so I would enter 137 for the total 40m digital QSOs.
- Use the “Choose File” button to upload your Cabrillo file.
- Check over all of your entries on the web form. Then fill in your Name, Call, and email at the bottom and submit your entry.
- Any questions about bonus points, scoring, or other Field Day rules? Consult the ARRL Field Day page and review the rules.
