UPCOMING CONTESTS - THINGS TO DO

2023 ARRL Field Day is June 24-25

ARRL Field Day is this weekend, starting at 1800 UTC on Saturday, June
24 and concluding at 2100 UTC on Sunday, June 25. Join thousands of
amateurs from across the globe, including those from all 85 ARRL and
Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) Sections, as they participate in this
popular operating event. Note that there are several rules changes this
year, including the addition of a 500 W power output category for Class
A, B, and C stations. The maximum power output for class D, E, and F
stations remains at 100 W. There have also been changes to the scoring
of contacts made from "Get on the Air" (GOTA) stations.

Be sure to visit www.arrl.org/field-day <http://www.arrl.org/field-day>
for event details and more information about the rules changes.

2023 RAC Canada Day Contest

The 2023 Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) Canada Day Contest starts at
0000 UTC on Saturday, July 1 and will run for 24 hours. Stations in
Canada send a signal report and their Canadian province or territory.
VE0s and stations outside Canada send a signal report and a serial
number. Contacts with stations in Canada or VE0s are worth 10 points,
contacts with stations outside Canada are worth 2 points, and contacts
with RAC official stations are worth 20 points. Visit https://www.rac.ca/contesting-results/ for more information.

The yearlong ARRL Volunteers On the Air event, recognizing the support
and contributions of ARRL volunteers, continues. Get on the air and
make contacts with as many ARRL volunteers or members as possible.
There will be week-long activations of portable W1AW/# stations in all
50 states, and in several US Possessions/Territories. For a schedule of
W1AW/# portable operations, see the W1AW Portable Activations Schedule <https://vota.arrl.org/w1awPortable.php>. Be sure to upload your logs
to LoTW and check your score online. Check out the full details at http://vota.arrl.org <http://vota.arrl.org/>.
