2017 Spring VHF/UHF Field Day
#2
This event is just over 3 weeks away now so a big BUMP as a reminder for you to start preparing for it.

The rules have now been made available on the WIA web site: 2017 Spring Field day rules

So...  Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November 2017
Duration, all call areas other than VK6: 0100 UTC Saturday to 0100 UTC Sunday 
Duration in VK6 only: 0400 UTC Saturday to 0400 UTC Sunday

In brief:

Still two divisions, distance and grid-square based.

Sections 
A: Portable station, single operator, 24 hours (A1) OR 8 hours (A2). 
B: Portable station, multiple operators, 24 hours (B1) OR 8 hours (B2). 
C: Home station, 24 hours (C1) OR 8 hours (C2). 
D: Rover station, 24 hours (D1) OR 8 hours (D2). 

Note that 8 hours means any period up to 8 hours (but the period must be contiguous); i.e. you can submit a log for a few contacts (even just one!). Likewise, 24 hours means any period from 8 hours up to 24 hours.  

Sub-sections 
(a) Single-band only: any single band permitted on the operator’s licence. 
(b) Four-bands: 6 m/2 m/70 cm/23 cm – any two, up to the four – only. 
© All-bands: all bands 50 MHz-up permitted on the operator’s licence. 
(d) Digital: contacts using non-voice digital modes (e.g. FSK441, JT4, JT65, MAP65, PSK31, RTTY, etc) are encouraged for any Section–Sub-section, but entries must be submitted in a separate log, scored separately. 

Operators may submit a log for any other section in addition to their digital entry. ‘Digital’ means those modes where the received signal is decoded by a computer. Stations entering the all-bands sub-section cannot enter additional logs for the four-bands or single-band sub-sections. A station operating on any number of bands cannot enter the single-band section for each band they use. That’s not in the spirit of this section!
