The much anticipated December issue of QST Magazine is now available with all the Field Day scores. To be fair, Field Day activities differ among clubs, honoring the many facets of amateur radio and public outreach. Some clubs focus on a reunion and picnic, while others focus on an afternoon of testing equipment. For those who appreciate the nod to competitive 24-hour radio sports, the scores published each November are fun to browse.
This year the EAWA achieved 1,312 QSOs and 6,645 points. In terms of all the entries in our 3A level (club station with three transmitters, non-portable), there were 282 clubs with fewer points. Congratulations to all who participated in the EAWA Field Day!
In terms of Maine entries in our 3A category, we are in second place. The results are as follows:
Wireless Society of Southern Maine, 2,149 QSOs and 9,326 points
Ellsworth Amateur Wireless Association, 1,312 QSOs and 6,645 points
Piscataquis Amateur Radio Club, 571 QSOs and 2,644 points
Merrymeeting Amateur Radio Club, 74 QSOs and 1,032 points
The overall winner of the 3A category was the North Fulton (GA) Amateur Radio Club with 3,905 QSOs and 16,234 points.
The MDI Marathon Emergency Communications and Field Day exercises are the most involved and intense activities on the EAWA calendar. With the 2024 marathon behind us, we are looking ahead to the 2025 Field Day, June 28 – 29.
