I plan to try to complete at least one satellite QSO at field day. If Al N5afv is available I'm sure that it will happen.

Prior to the BVARC meeting I raised a few questions and next thing I knew I was to help with the bonus points. As not to Hog some of the Field Day Fun if you would like to Co- chair the Bonus points Capt. let me and Roy know. I see an ugent need for: #1) 7.3.7 Satellite QSO We need a SAT Captain. Many can Team up for this Satillite challange. see below SAT rules 7.3.7. Satellite QSO: 100 bonus points for successfully completing at least one QSO via an amateur radio satellite during the Field Day period. "General Rules for All ARRL Contests" (Rule 3.7.2.), (the no-repeater QSO stipulation) is waived for satellite QSOs. Groups are allowed one dedicated satellite transmitter station without increasing their entry category. Satellite QSOs also count for regular QSO credit. Show them listed separately on the summary sheet as a separate "band." You do not receive an additional bonus for contacting different satellites, though the additional QSOs may be counted for QSO credit unless prohibited under Rule 7.3.7.1. The QSO must be between two Earth stations through a satellite. Available to Classes A, B, and F. 7.3.7.1 Stations are limited to one (1) completed QSO on any single channel FM satellite. #2) 7.3.6 NEED NTS Capt. We need some NTS message handlers on FD site and also some off site to relay and send messages to and from FD site. see below Message Handling rules 7.3.6. Message Handling: 10 points for each formal NTS style originated, relayed or received and delivered during the Field Day period, up to a maximum of 100 points (ten messages). Properly serviced copies of each message must be included with the Field Day report. The message to the ARRL SM or SEC under Rule 7.3.5. does not count towards the total of 10 for this bonus. Available to all Classes. All NTS messages claimed for bonus points must leave or enter the site via amateur radio RF. #3) 7.3.10 EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY BONUS We need your presentation. This is simple presentation related to Amateur radio. Two Examples of past FD bonus educational activity are Hands on how to build a 10 M dipole done by KD5YVQ Robert and Digital Radio to external sound card PC interface done by Bill WS5H. This type of demonstration is a great learning tool for new Hams at FD and 100 points for the FD effort. see below Educational Activity Bonus rules 7.3.10. Educational activity bonus: One (1) 100-point bonus may be claimed if your Field Day operation includes a specific educational-related activity. The activity can be diverse and must be related to amateur radio. It must be some type of formal activity. It can be repeated during the Field Day period but only one bonus is earned. For more information consult the FAQ in the complete Field Day packet. Available to Classes A & F entries and available clubs or groups operating from a club station in class D and E with 3 or more participants. THESE WERE THE 3 MAIN ITEMS TO WORK ON FOR THIS WEEKEND. I WILL PUT OUT MORE REQUESTS AND GIVE THE WHO DO WHAT LIST ON BONUS POINTS AFTER ALL GET SETTLED IN FROM HAMCOM. PLEASE TRY TO HELP OUT IN THE KK5W BONUS POINTS EFFORT.
