The theme for 2024 ARRL Field Day is “Be Radio Active.” All amateurs and prospective hams are encouraged to use the Field Day Station Locator (http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator) to do just that. Sites are encouraged to have a Get on the Air (GOTA) station for visitors interested in being able to get on the air from the Field Day location. In a change to the rules for 2024, each GOTA contact adds five bonus points, with no limit on the number of GOTA contacts.

“We don’t want people who are actively operating to hit a points plateau and give up. This way, each contact adds bonus points, and it should give people a reason to stay radio active.”

— ARRL Radiosport and Regulatory Information Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ.

Complete rules and other resources for the event may be found at www.arrl.org/field-day. We hope to hear your club on the air!
