weekend???

 

2008 Rules Changes 

GOTA (Get on the Air) stations are those stations set aside by Field Day
teams designed to get non-hams or newly licensed hams on the air. Unlike in
past years where GOTA stations were limited to only the HF bands, the 2008
rules state that these stations may operate on any authorized HF or VHF
Field Day band. Keep in mind that only one signal may be transmitted from
the GOTA station at any time. 

Henderson said the eligibility for operating the GOTA station has changed
slightly: Anyone who has been licensed since Field Day 2007 is eligible to
operate the GOTA station, regardless of license class. 

For 2008, the Demonstration Mode Bonus category has been eliminated and
replaced by an Educational Activity Bonus worth 100 points. "This bonus is
intended to encourage clubs and groups to do some more formal educational
activity during their Field Day operation," Henderson said. If you have any
questions concerning what activities might be appropriate for this bonus,
Henderson said you should submit them via e-mail <mailto:fdinfo at arrl.org> . 

 

 

See ya' in the Pileups!
