Hi All,

Just a reminder that we only have 22 days left until Field Day! We want to be sure that you and your club are all set with the following reminders and information...

22 Days until ARRL Field Day!

As we approach Field Day weekend, groups from all over the continent are making plans and preparations, getting equipment, generators, food, rigs, antennas and computers together, coordinating operating schedules and all the little things that make Field Day go. In many cases they will be on the air for many hours, striving to both show off our amazing hobby of Amateur Radio and turn in a competitive score. It is a huge amount of fun and a heck of a lot of work! Hopefully you will be attending a Field Day site this year, but if you can't make it out, please be sure to help reward their great efforts by providing plenty of QSOs for their logs!

Find a Club!

If you aren't already part of a group and would like to be, please reach out to your local club. It's likely they will be thrilled to have you participate with them! You can find clubs participating in Field Day in your area here:

https://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator

Operate from Home!

Even if you aren't a contester and you only have an hour to spare from home, please fire up your rig and give as many stations as you can a contact. Everyone you call will really appreciate your QSO and it will make their Field Day that much more enjoyable! In addition, you might be able to pick up a few more states towards your Worked All States Award.

Quick Start Video!

You will find a quick start video for using our N3FJP Field Day log here:

Test your Network!

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:

https://www.n3fjp.com/help/networkinghelp.html

Please take a little time well before Field Day, 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!

HamDash!

Enjoy tracking how your Field Day is going, even when you are away from the site, as well as how your group is doing collectively on HamDash!

As always, we are really looking forward to working you on Field Day weekend!!!

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 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.

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:
