2016 Field Day


Rusty and Dave K4SV have the final say on this but by my reckoning - we are in the neighborhood of 7720 points

941 +169* (CW Q's) = 2220 points
1022 + 8* (PH Q's) = 1030 points
*GOTA QSOs
Power Multiplier (less than 150W) is 2 so 3250 * 2 = 6500 points

100% Emergency Power (NC4SC batteries plus K4SV generator) = 100 points
Media Publicity (WU2T getting on the Bobby Mac show) = 100 points
W1AW Field Day Message ! (AG3R) = 100 Points
Natural Power (at least 5 QSOs from the GOTA station had solar) = 100 points
Site Visit By Elected Official (Tim Greaves) = 100 points
GOTA Bonus Points = 260 points (100 points + 160 points for GOTA QSO)
Double GOTA Bonus for having a full time GOTA coach 260 points

If we submit our score  using b4b.net = 100 points
Social Media Bonus - Facebook Page = 100 points

Total Bonus Points = 1220

Total Points = 6500 + 1220 = 7720 points
