There is some good preliminary news about the club’s performance in the 2023 ARRL Field Day in June as listed in the “entries received” report on the ARRL Field Day website. Final results with scores will be posted in the December QST.
This year the OVMRC once again did very well in terms of our participation levels. We came in an amazing 4th place in North America. We had 13 members enter the contest and list their scores with the OVMRC. Last year we were in 3rd place, so we are maintaining our status as a leading club. The 3rd place club this year had 15 participants. As you can see, the difference in placement can be very small and everyone’s contribution is significant and important. This year the top two clubs had 28 and 27 participants. Most clubs had fewer than 10 participants although 2907 stations listed their score with clubs.
Of the OVMRC club members participating, two operated portable QRP using batteries, six operated home stations on emergency power, and five operated home stations on commercial power.
This year once again we have shown that we are one of the most active amateur radio clubs in North America.
