The Field Day 2025 results are now available on the ARRL website and in the December issue of QST magazine. It was a great event.

We improved our club’s score again this year compared to prior years. The event location at North Park in Priceville was great, and we had fun doing it! We had 43 participants, and a lot of interest from visitors. We operated in a new class again this year with 4 transmitters on the air, making us a “4A” station for the first time in recent memory. And we increased our bonus score with solar power, youth participation, and official message handling.

The club was able to secure the W4A special event call sign for this year, making us unique on the air. Our regular club callsign W4Atd was used as the callsign of the GOTA station.

Here’s the breakdown of the results:

• Out of 4,379 entries overall, W4ATD was #410.
• Out of 70 entries in the AL Section, W4ATD was #5.
• Out of 181 Class 4A entries overall, W4ATD was #48.
• Out of 3 Class 4A entries in the AL Section, W4ATD was #2

Special thanks are in order for Bryan – W1WC, who provided most of the equipment; Chris – KB3A who also provided and operated a radio; and Bill – N4GGH, who was a fantastic GOTA coach and helped with the youth bonus points.

Thanks again to Bob – KB4ACP for the excellent food he provided and prepared for us.

Overall we improved again from our usual level among stations overall and in our section. And we made a great showing for our first time in class 4A.

NOW . . . .

Repeat after me: we’re going to be even better again next year! Field Day 2026 will the 4th full weekend of June, as always, which is June 27th and 28th. Make plans to be there before your 4th of July vacation plans and help the club out!
