Hey folks, there are some changes this year to the ARRL Field Day rules, procedures and information. Some affect the logging software.
We use the N3FJP logging software. You MUST upgrade to the latest version for this year. If you are using your own computer you can download and install the software before Field Day or I will have it on a thumb drive at Field Day.
This is from the N3FJP email blast:
A few reminders for next weekend’s Field Day event:
Upgrade to Field Day Log 6.6.7 Required!
ARRL Field Day is just 7 days away! If you haven’t started to prepare, now is the time! First, please be sure to upgrade to version 6.6.7 of our ARRL Field Day software in advance, so that you can log the new Canadian section abbreviations and apply the latest rule changes. This is a required upgrade. There are several Canadian section abbreviation changes effective January 1, 2023 and you won’t be able to log these abbreviations unless you upgrade.
Please make sure everyone at your Field Day site is running version 6.6.7! Please check with your buddies and club members now, to make sure they are aware of the needed upgrade! We don’t want anyone disappointed next weekend, or any Field Day sites thrown into confusion when an operator attempts to log a changed Canadian section abbreviation with an old version of our software.
As always, upgrades are free to registered users. If you are currently running a version of our software released after January 2021 and are Internet connected, it should detect the new upgrade and offer to retrieve it for you on start.
If you have any problem with the automatic upgrade, or you are running an older version, you can install the latest version directly from the web site:
