The following table was compiled from information as reported (and only as reported) in back issues of the
RARS EXciter available on the
RARS website
(denoted by an “E” in the table below),
in the ARRL's
QST Field Day results articles
(denoted by a “Q” in the table below),
and on the applicable RARS Field Day website pages (linked from the year, if available).
If information is missing, it's because it wasn't available from any of those sources.

In 1989, RARS set a Class 7A-Battery record with 11,550 points.
That record stood until 2006, when it was shattered by the New Mexico Field Day Coalition with 16,165 points.
See the ARRL QST article with the 2006 Field Day results
