2024 ARRL Field Day is June 22 -23, just 2 weeks away! There is still time to
get your official merchandise[1]�in time for the event. ARRL is even offering
free US shipping on Field Day orders of $30 or more with code FD2024. Plus, if
you use that code, you'll get a bonus�2024 ARRL Field Day pin[2]�automatically
included in your order. This offer ends Monday, June 10.

The theme for 2024 ARRL Field Day is "Be Radio Active." All amateurs and
prospective hams are encouraged to use the Field Day Station Locator
(www.arrl.org/field-day-locator[3]) to do just that. Sites are encouraged to
have a Get on the Air (GOTA) station for visitors interested in being able to
get on the air from the Field Day location. In a change to the rules for 2024,
each GOTA contact adds five bonus points, with no limit on the number of GOTA
contacts. "We don't want people who are actively operating to hit a points
plateau and give up," said ARRL Radiosport and Regulatory Information Manager
Bart Jahnke, W9JJ. "This way, each contact adds bonus points, and it should
give people a reason to stay radio active."

�Complete rules and other resources for the event may be found at
www.arrl.org/field-day[4]. We hope to hear your club on the air!�
