FIELD DAY

PREMISE:
The annual FD Challenge is one of our most popular challenges according to the number of logs submitted. Work at least the required number of ARRL/RAC Contest Sections during field day, either from your home station or portable from the field. PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN THE VE SECTIONS LIST BELOW.

TIME FRAME:
As in the ARRL FD Rules.

!! NOTE : THIS CHALLENGE INCLUDES RULE CHANGES MADE IN 2017. PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION BELOW TO BE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE. !!

RULES:
1. You must use QRP or QRPp power. The other station may use any power. You may use any type of antenna.
2. If you are part of a multi-op FD station, no matter what call sign is used, even if it is your own, only the QSOs MADE BY YOU PERSONALLY at QRP or QRPp power count.
3. ARRL Field Day rules govern all aspects of the contest for purposes of this challenge, except as noted.
4. Entities to be counted are the ARRL/RAC Contest Sections used for the FD exchange, not US States. The ARRL/RAC Contest Sections, which include US States, Canadian Provinces, Puerto Rico (PR), Virgin Islands (VI) and DX ( a single entity consisting of any country aside from those just mentioned ), are listed below. NOTE: STARTING IN 2020, RAC HAS DESIGNATED PE, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, AS A NEW AND SEPARATE CANADIAN SECTION.
5. The DX entity may be counted ONLY ONCE regardless of how many different DX countries you work.
6. A number of states and provinces have multiple contest sections. Each section counts toward your total worked. For example: New Jersey has southern NJ, SNJ, and northern NJ, NNJ. Each counts toward your total.

A Participation Point goes to everyone who works at least 10, but not 30 or more ARRL Contest Sections, either from home or portable in the field, and submits their results before the deadline.

You can get only 1 challenge Participation Point this month even if you participate in both the Field Day and the normal June challenges.

CERTIFICATES:
If you work all Continental US sections OR all VE sections we'll send you a NAQCC FD CLEAN SWEEP certificate. Make all contacts at QRPp power, 1 watt or less, and get a QRPp endorsement. For the US certificate only, there are endorsements for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands and DX sections. Submit a statement that you have worked the required contacts and for a QRPp endorsement the maximum power used to make the required contacts. You may use both QRP and QRPp power during the contest as long as all the required contacts for a QRPp endorsement are established and completed at 1 watt or less. Contacts for this certificate are only from the current year contest and do not accumulate from year to year. There are no antenna restrictions for this award. NOTE: THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT THE REQUIRED INFORMATION FOR THIS CERTIFICATE IS THE SAME AS THE CHALLENGE SUBMITTAL DEADLINE (see LOGS section below).

If you work all 50 states, we'll send you an NAQCC WAS certificate. For the WAS certificate, you must have used only simple wire antennas. See the awards page for details.

If you work all 8 Canadian provinces, we'll send you an NAQCC WAVE certificate. For the WAVE certificate, you must have used only simple wire antennas. See the awards page for details.

LOGS:
For your report, just tell us the number of ARRL/RAC Contest Sections worked and list them alphabetically by their abbreviations using the format shown below. Also tell us if you worked from HOME or PORTABLE so we may put you in the correct category.
