Field Day Operators Drawing
Field Day is about getting out and operating under simulated emergency conditions. RARS has always placed fun ahead of "winning" and fun remains the prime directive this year. If you have been reluctant to participate in the past because you are not a "contest veteran" I would encourage you to put your doubts aside and come out to operate. As a special incentive, RARS will be giving away a prize to one lucky operator this year. Here is how the drawing will work:
1) Contact one of the band captains and sign up for a time to operate. You must contact the band captain before Friday June 22, 2012 in order to be eligible for the drawing. You can find a list of band captains here.
2) Operate for at least one hour on site between 1400 Saturday June 23 and 1359 Sunday June 24, 2012
3) After Field Day is over, the Field Day Chair will review the operating logs for each station and place the names of all qualifying participants into a "hat". The actual drawing will take place at the August RARS meeting. You need not be present to win. The prize has yet to be determined.
So come on out and join your fellow hams for this year's ARRL Field Day!
