Hi All,

Just a quick note to let you know that...

Field Day Contest Log 6.4 is Now Available!

In late May, I modified the Field Day software (version 6.3) to support ARRL's 2020, COVID-19, Delta scoring rule waiver. Lord willing, with the hope that it will be safe to gather for Field Day in June 2021, I've updated the software in version 6.4 to default back to standard Field Day rules.

I also retained the ability to easily enable the Delta scoring waiver option, should it be needed again, for several reasons. First, June 2021 seems far ahead, but there are many steps that must succeed before everyone on the planet is safely immunized and it is safe for all demographics in all areas of the country to gather.

Second, ARRL reports that Field Day 2020 is shaping up to be one for the record books! ARRL Contest Program Manager Paul Bourque, N1SFE, said that “As many participants chose to operate from home this year — and given the 2020 rules waivers, we have seen a tremendous increase in entries over last year’s event.” More details are here.

The clear success and popularity of ARRL's 2020 Delta scoring waiver rule makes it sensible to keep the option coded in the software for the future as well.

Should ARRL again invoke the Delta scoring rule, Field Day Contest Log 6.4 is ready. Just click Settings > Enable Delta Station Scoring Waiver to enable the option.

You'll find Field Day Contest Log 6.4 here.

The Field Day Contest Log 6.4 upgrade is free to registered users! Just follow these upgrade steps here.

And in response to the often asked question for which Kimberly and I are very grateful...

"I know your upgrades are free, but I also realize how much time and effort coding these enhancements and new programs take and that your pricing policy doesn't fully reflect that. Can I send you something to show my appreciation for your continued efforts?"

Yes, thanks so much, your continued support in any amount is very welcome and deeply appreciated! You can use this page:
