This arrived via the ARRL PR mailing list this morning:

2017 ARRL Field Day PSAs (public service announcements) are now live
at Â*www.arrl.org/field-day.
There are two audio and two video PSAs. All are 29 seconds long. There is a
generic version, which points listeners/viewers to the ARRL Field Day web
site, to use the Field Day Locator. There is also a version which allows
local contact info. For the audio PSA, theres 11 seconds at the end for you
to promote your clubs effort. The video PSA features a text box at the
bottom of the screen to type in your club contact info.
Best of luck with your Field Day outreach efforts this year!

Heres one of the PSAs. Its the version that allows you to add local
information at the end of the spot.

Weve never tried to get a PSA aired here, but I might give it a go this
year. AM and FM stations all run PSAs when they run out of paid ads to run.
Im not sure exactly how youd go about placing them in your town, but I dont
think it should be all that difficult, and who knows, It might just
increase the turnout at your Field Day.
Please comment if youve placed a PSA with your local radio stations and
tell us how it worked out for you.
