The results of the 2013 ARRL Field Day have been posted. Less-than-ideal conditions this past June likely accounted for a slight drop in participation from 2012. Nonetheless, there were more than 2500 entries, and more than 35,500 people participated.

The team at W3AO (Potomac Valley Radio Club/Columbia Amateur Radio Association) claimed top honors this year, running class 29A(!) to compile a score of 33,724 points. But small club efforts remain the most popular entries. Class 2A Field Day operations accounted for the greatest number of entries — 440 — by class. By the way, all that activity resulted in more than 1.2 million contacts! Using the results database, you can find your club or group’s score and compare with others. Time to get ready for the next Field Day. It will take place June 28-29, 2014.
