Hi All

A few reminders for next weekend's Field Day event:

Upgrade to Field Day Log 6.6.7 Required!

ARRL Field Day is just 7 days away! If you haven't started to prepare, now is the time! First, please be sure to upgrade to version 6.6.7 of our ARRL Field Day software in advance, so that you can log the new Canadian section abbreviations and apply the latest rule changes. This is a required upgrade. There are several Canadian section abbreviation changes effective January 1, 2023 and you won't be able to log these abbreviations unless you upgrade.

Please make sure everyone at your Field Day site is running version 6.6.7! Please check with your buddies and club members now, to make sure they are aware of the needed upgrade! We don't want anyone disappointed next weekend, or any Field Day sites thrown into confusion when an operator attempts to log a changed Canadian section abbreviation with an old version of our software.

As always, upgrades are free to registered users. If you are currently running a version of our software released after January 2021 and are Internet connected, it should detect the new upgrade and offer to retrieve it for you on start.

If you have any problem with the automatic upgrade, or you are running an older version, you can install the latest version directly from the web site.

And please also remember that:

You will find a quick start video for using our Field Day log here.

If you can't find your Field Day password, please go ahead and retrieve it here.

If you plan to use a network for Field Day and haven't already done so, it's time to get all the PCs you'll be using together and make sure your network is all set. Complete details on networking our Field Day software using both File Share and TCP methods are here.

Please take a little time now, get your PCs together and your network up and running. As always, problems easily solved in a relaxed atmosphere can seem insurmountable when the clock is ticking!

And the steps to interface many digital programs with our software are here.

Enjoy Field Day! We will be operating from N3FJP headquarters as 1E (home station, emergency power - 100% powered by our new Tesla solar panels and powerwall). We hope to work you!

And in response to the questions we always receive when we neglect to include the following in our e-mail announcements...

Package Upgrade Information...

If you have registered one or more individual programs and would like to upgrade to N3FJP's Software Package or N3FJP's Software Package and CD for full use of all our Amateur Radio software, we would be glad to apply the amount that you have registered so far as a credit towards that purchase. Please send us an e-mail directly and we'll let you know your balance.

N3FJP's Software Package includes more than one hundred programs for contesting, net management and general logging Amateur Radio applications, as well as our WX Warn weather software! In addition to full use of all these programs, registered package customers are also entitled to receive free passwords for any new software that is added to the package and free upgrades to existing programs. You'll find all the details on the Register Now page at www.n3fjp.com.

Donations are Gratefully Accepted!

And in response to the often asked question for which Kimberly, Chris and I are very grateful...

"I know your upgrades are free, but I also realize how much time and effort support, coding these enhancements and new programs take and that your pricing policy doesn't fully reflect that. Can I send you something to show my appreciation for your continued efforts?"

Yes, thanks so much, your continued support in any amount is very welcome and deeply appreciated! You can use this page:

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Thanks!

As always, thanks for your kind words, support, linking to our web site and spreading the word about our software. Kimberly, Chris and I really appreciate it!
