In just a very short time many of us will start working the ARRL 2020 Field Day. Unfortunately this year, due to COVID-19 virus, the multi-group, Mega Field Day was not held. There were many thoughts on different ways to try and hold a group Field Day but nothing seemed appropriate and safe for club members. So a decision was made for everyone to do individual Field Days at home. And with changes in Field Days rules, home operating will be more "user/operator" friendly. This year there will be a intraclub contest. Rick Hiller sent out an earlier e-mail which is below. Rick Hiller via BVARC <[email protected]>UnsubscribeTo:BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB For a few years now BVARC, TDXS, KARS and ECHO have been holding a joint mega-Feld Day, but not this year. We'll all be hunkered down mostly working 1D from our homes. So, since we can't all be together to enjoy setting up, operating, socializing and enjoying Daphne and Kelly's wonderful food, let's up the ante a bit and have some local fun. Field Day CV-19 Top Op Contest Awards will be given for the top ops (1,2 and 3) in Phone, CW and Digital -- based on reported QSO counts.Awards will be given for the top ops (1,2, and 3) for Overall Field Day score -- based on the number submitted to ARRL. Rules are simple: 1) You must be a member of one or more of the 4 clubs 2) You must sign up on Alan's Google Doc before https://rb.gy/odoqot Field Day starts @ 2020 ARRL Field Day

Deadline is the same as the ARRL submittal deadline -- 30 days post FD. Results will be published in the September BVARC BEACON, and awards will be presented at a future BVARC event. That's it. Questions and submissions to me....Rick -- W5RH [email protected] A quick note on when submitting your score to ARRL, no matter what club you want your score to count toward, make you follow the same listing as everyone else. In the example of Brazos Valley, if it is submitted as BVARC, it could be counted toward Boyne Valley Amateur Radio Club. They may like the points but it doesn't help Brazos Valley. John Chauvin, K5IZO, sent out an e-mail earlier mentioning this so keep that in mind. I hope everyone has a great time this year and hopefully COVID-19 will be a thing in the past come 2021 Field Day. Good luck. Mike Hardwick, N5VCXPresidentBrazos Valley Amateur Radio Club713-826-6917
