www.arrl.org/files/file/Field-Day/2019/2019-FD-FAQ-RevA.pdf Q. What equipment at our Field Day site must be operated off of the emergency power in order to claim the 100-point per transmitter bonus? A. You must operate all transmitting and receiving equipment from emergency power. If you use a computer for digital modes , and/or to control or operate the radio, it also must use emergency power. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Brown" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2020 8:46:32 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Field Day On 5/24/2020 1:16 PM, Jack Brindle via Elecraft wrote: > Two things - if the computer controls the radio (and it should for logging > and sending exchanges), then it must also be run on emergency power.
