General 2 months, 4 weeks agoLet me add a couple of things we know for sure by now.
The operator of the year is Gabriel AJ6X who not only got the most QSOs but also got them QRP (5X more points).
Congratulations to Gabriel.
For those who don’t know yet. This year Gabrial also received a DXCC award and just completed also a mobile DXCC award (only 25 people ever got this one).

General 5 months, 2 weeks agoIf we don’t get a permit we can probably still find an outdoor place where we don’t need a permit. As long as we follow CDC rules I will be happy to do a real field day this year.

Angelo, N6QAD (emergency coordinator) replied to the topic 2021 Winter Field Day in the forum
General 8 months, 3 weeks agoLooks like the rules will allow to do the same we did in June. Single participants adding the club name during submission.
Note that FT8 is not allowed. Hopefully people will fall back to PSK otherwise you need a good antenna for analog modes.
I am not sure I will participate this year.
