Field Day Log

This is a quick how-to on how to submit electronic logs for for the 2020 Field Day for those who don't have a logging software.

During the Contest

Use the Field Day Log Spreadsheet to log your contacts.

  • Only enter information in the green cells.
  • Information must be formatted as in the example (case is not sensitive):
    • The Band can be a general frequency of the band or the exact frequency. Only the general frequency will end up being submitted. HF are in kHz, and VHF/UHF in MHz.
    • The Mode can be cw, dg (digital), ph (phone), or fm.
    • The Date must be either 6/27 or 6/28 in Zulu time.
    • The Time must be in 100's in Zulu time.
    • The Section Code must be exact. If an operator uses the name instead of the code (ex. “Georgia”), you can use the “Lookup” tab to find the code.
    • The sections in red are to help and will NOT be copied in the log later.

Calculating Points

Using the Scoring Tab, fill in the multiplier and bonus points using page 4-5 of the Field Day Packet.

Formatting the Log

Before the log file can be submitted, the information from the spreadsheet must be converted to the proper format. To do that, use the ARRL Field Day Cabrillo Form

  • Fill in your station information: * Copy the green sections from the spreadsheet at the bottom of the next screen:
