    UPCOMING CONTESTS - THINGS TO DO

    2022 ARRL Field Day is June 25-26

    ARRL Field Day begins at 1800 UTC on Saturday, June 25. Join thousands
    of amateurs from across the globe, including those from all 84 ARRL and
    Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) sections, as they participate in this
    popular operating event. Several rules have changed for the event this
    year, including a 100 W transmitter power-output limit and the
    continuation of Class D home stations being able to count contacts with
    other Class D stations for points.

    For more information about the rules changes and ARRL Field Day, visit www.arrl.org/field-day <http://www.arrl.org/field-day>.

    RAC Canada Day Contest

    The 2022 Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) Canada Day Contest starts at
    0000 UTC on July 1 and will run for 24 hours. Participants should note
    that special call signs will be on the air during the event in honor of
    the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The call signs will be available to all
    Canadian amateurs who wish to use them for any event including Field
    Day, the RAC Canada Day Contest, and the IARU HF World Championship.
    Complete rules are available at www.rac.ca/contesting-results/ <https://www.rac.ca/contesting-results/>.

    BULLETINS

    IARU member-society Headquarters station operators participating in the upcoming IARU HF World Championship <http://www.arrl.org/iaru-hf-world-championship> should check to see if
    their call signs are listed at www.dropbox.com/s/g0wojif6zo0ffu5/HQ2022.txt?dl=0 <https://www.dropbox.com/s/g0wojif6zo0ffu5/HQ2022.txt?dl=0>. If your information is erroneous or missing, please send contact Joe Roemming,
    OZ0J, at [email protected]. Joe and Bob Wilson, N6TV, are compiling a
    multiplier list for use with major contest-logging software programs.
    The list will only have multipliers for Headquarters stations; stations
    from IARU, Region 1, Region 2, and Region 3, and Administrative Council
    (AC) stations.

    Pete Smith, N4ZR, has announced an update to the Reverse Beacon Network <https://www.reversebeacon.net/> (RBN) web page. The updated site has
    many new features, including a new map based on Open StreetMap <https://www.openstreetmap.org/>. Users can view a complete list of new features at the Guide to the New RBN Website <https://www.reversebeacon.net/pages/Guide+to+the+new+site+%28beta%29+43>, found on the "about" tab of the page.
