Field Day 2008 New Rules.......

2008 Rules Changes

GOTA (Get on the Air) stations are those stations set aside by Field Day teams designed to get non-hams or newly licensed hams on the air. Unlike in past years where GOTA stations were limited to only the HF bands, the 2008 rules state that these stations may operate on any authorized HF or VHF Field Day band. Keep in mind that only one signal may be transmitted from the GOTA station at any time.

Henderson said the eligibility for operating the GOTA station has changed slightly: Anyone who has been licensed since Field Day 2007 is eligible to operate the GOTA station, regardless of license class.

For 2008, the Demonstration Mode Bonus category has been eliminated and replaced by an Educational Activity Bonus worth 100 points. "This bonus is intended to encourage clubs and groups to do some more formal educational activity during their Field Day operation," Henderson said. If you have any questions concerning what activities might be appropriate for this bonus, Henderson said you should submit them via e-mail.

Be sure to read the Field Day rules and FAQs in the 2008 Field Day Packet for details of these changes. There are also numerous small changes in the FAQs and support materials in the packet that should help groups and individuals as they plan their Field Day activities, Henderson said.

ARRL Field Day June 23/24 2007

The Shreveport Amateur Radio Association is again hosting ARRL Field Day
at the Pavilion near the Arthur Te ague Parkway Boat Launch Ramp

All are welcome, Hams and non Ham Radio OPS alike
A special station will be provided with a Licensed radio "coach" for those wishing to talk on the air

We are also operating 3A with one of those stations set up for those ops that prefer a slower QSO rate, in other casual operation versus "contest style"

We welcome amateurs from other clubs and even non club members
to join us

Hamburgers and Hot dogs will be cooked Saturday and everyone is welcome while the supplies last, donations are welcome but not required for the food and drinks consumed.

Bottom line is we will have fun and we want as many people from the public as well as fellow Ham radio ops to come join us !

Those that enjoy working at a faster pace are encouraged to step up to the plate in either the Phone or CW Trailer and work em fast and furiously as they can

The scenery on the Red River is always pleasant on the eyes
the camaraderie is bar none !

Those that wish to assist in set-up
we begin that task around 3 pm Friday June 22
