ARRL to Extend Field Day Rule Waivers from 2020, Add Class D and E Power
Limit
02/10/2021
The COVID-19 pandemic-modified ARRL Field Day rules from 2020 will continue
this June with the addition of a power limit imposed on Class D (Home
Stations) and Class E (Home Stations-Emergency Power) participants. The
news from the ARRL Board’s Programs and Services Committee comes as many
clubs and groups are starting preparations for Field Day in earnest. Field
Day 2021 will take place June 26 – 27.
“This early decision should alleviate any hesitancy that radio clubs and
individual Field Day participants may have with their planning for the
event,” said ARRL Contest Program Manager Paul Bourque, N1SFE.
For Field Day 2021:
Class D stations may work all other Field Day stations, including other
Class D stations, for points. This year, however, Class D and Class E
stations will be limited to 150 W PEP output.
An aggregate club score will be published — just as it was done last year.
The aggregate score will be a sum of all individual entries that attributed
their score to that of a specific club.
ARRL Field Day is one of the biggest events on the amateur radio calendar.
Last summer, a record 10,213 entries were received.
“With the greater flexibility afforded by the rules waivers, individuals
and groups will still be able to participate in Field Day, while still
staying within any public health recommendations and/or requirements,”
Bourque said.
The preferred method of submitting entries after Field Day is via the web
applet. The ARRL Field Day rules include instructions on how to submit
entries, which must be submitted or postmarked by Tuesday, July 27, 2021.
The ARRL Field Day web page contains for complete rules and entry forms, as
well as any updated information as it becomes available. Join the ARRL
Field Day Facebook page.
