Can't Make It to Field Day? Operate from Home and Support BARS!
Karen Jacobi
Hi Everyone,
Can't make it to Redeemer Church for Field Day this year? You can still participate from your home station and help increase the BARS aggregate club score!
ARRL publishes an aggregate club score that combines the individual scores of members who identify the same club when submitting their Field Day results. Whether you make 5 contacts or 500, every contact helps and your participation is encouraged.
A few quick reminders:
- Home stations (Class D) are limited to 100 watts maximum power
- Phone contacts are worth 1 point each
- CW contacts are worth 2 points each
- Digital contacts are worth 2 points each
When submitting your Field Day entry to ARRL, be sure to include:
Club Name: Brandon Amateur Radio Society
This allows your score to be added to the club's aggregate total.
Submitting your results is easy! The preferred method is to use the ARRL online Field Day entry form:
https://field-day.arrl.org/fdentry.php
Entries must be submitted no later than Tuesday, July 28, 2026.
No matter where you operate from, we hope you'll join in the fun and help represent BARS during Field Day weekend!
