Are You Ready for 2025 ARRL Field Day?

You can almost hear the synthesizer lead from the musical act Europe's 1986
hit, "The Final Countdown," playing in the air �-" we are just two weeks away
from 2025 ARRL Field Day, taking place on June 28 - 29. As the excitement
builds, 1067 sites are listed on the station locator tool [
https://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] . Each of them has a lot of work to do between now and the first "CQ Field
Day" transmission.


[https://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator]


Now is the time to check (and double-check) everything, according to ARRL
Radiosport and Regulatory Information Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ. "Check all
your gear and accessories. Put it on the air, and make sure there are no
problems. Organize your power chain - from the generator to all the cables,"
he suggested.


Going through all the equipment, including antennas and antenna support
structures, will keep any nasty surprises at bay when it's time to activate
for the event.


It is also time to check on your people and places. "Reach out to everyone
who said they wanted to come and make sure they are still able to. Build an
operating schedule," said Jahnke. It's also a prudent time to check with the
property owner where you intend to hold the activation. Follow up with local
media and town officials that have been invited.


With the heat of summer bearing down, make sure there's enough water and
sunscreen for the activation. A double-check of supplies now could spare you
from unplanned errands during Field Day.

"More than anything, being prepared now will help you be present during Field
Day," said ARRL Public Relations and Outreach Manager Sierra Harrop, W5DX.
"This is a great opportunity to share the joy and community of amateur radio
with people who may not get a chance to participate in it often - or it could
be a first introduction. Prepare now so you can have fun the weekend of," she
said.

 
ARRL has many resources to help your activation thrive during the event. All
the rules and information are at www.arrl.org/FieldDay [
http://www.arrl.org/FieldDay?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] . Order your 2025 ARRL Field Day merch [
http://www.arrl.org/shop/fieldday?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] by Thursday, June 19, to ensure your shipment arrives in time for Field
Day.

ARRL Teachers Institute - Multiplying the Message

ARRL welcomed the year's first cohort of educators to attend a session of the
ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology [
http://www.arrl.org/ti?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] (TI) at headquarters this week. The group follows on the success of the
Louisiana-based session last week, and one on Staten Island in New York City
this past in January.


[https://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-learning-and-education-programs-in-front-of-15-000-science-teachers]



The educators traveled from all over the country to attend and learn how to
take radio and wireless technology back into the classroom as part of
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) lessons. Many of the
teachers took and passed their amateur radio license exams during the week,
including Professor Charnell Long, Ph.D. She is a professor at North Carolina
A&T University who works with pre-service educators to become certified
teachers.

She hopes to be a multiplying force for the information.

 
"It was fun to me," said Long. "It is an opportunity to deep dive into radio
in ways I never have before." She will incorporate the hands-on training into
her courses at the university.

Long learned about the program when ARRL Education and Learning Manager Steve
Goodgame, K5ATA, exhibited TI at the National Science Teachers Association
convention [
https://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-learning-and-education-programs-in-front-of-15-000-science-teachers?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] .

 
"I see value in bringing [my students] scientific skills," said Long.
Goodgame is encouraged by the reach just one participant in TI could have.
"We're always excited to get educators hands-on with radio, but especially
those who take what they learn here and go back and teach it to other
educators," he said.

 
Professor Long is one microcosm of ARRL's focus on multiplying the reach of
TI's impact. The ARRL Board of Directors voted unanimously in July 2024 to
authorize taking the high-quality education of TI to communities around the
country. Increasing the number of teachers and therefore students reached by
the training is one peg in the mission to inspire the next generation of
radio amateurs.

 
While Professor Long and the other newly-minted radio amateurs in the cohort
wait for their call signs to be issued, they continue to get hands-on with
radio. Thursday's session was focused on software-defined radios. "To see
these educators have fun learning new things is a real boost, not only to the
ARRL Education and Learning Department, but the future of ham radio as well,"
said Goodgame.

ARRL June VHF Contest is This Weekend

The 2025 ARRL June VHF Contest [
https://www.arrl.org/june-vhf?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] is this weekend, starting at 1800 UTC on Saturday, June 14, and concluding
at 0259 UTC on Monday, June 16. Late spring weather brings enhanced
tropospheric ducting and meteor scatter. Plus, it's the peak of the
sporadic-E season. Take advantage of these propagation enhancements and have
some fun on the VHF and UHF bands.


[https://home.arrl.org/action/Store/Product-Details/productId/2018039112]


ARRL Contest Program Manager Paul Bourque, N1SFE, who is also an active
6-meter operator, says that it could be the band to watch. "Propagation on
6-meters has had some wonderful surprises, with openings from the East Coast
to Europe, as well as transcontinental propagation being reported in recent
weeks," he said.

 
The exchange is the four-digit Maidenhead grid square you're operating from.
For more info on grid squares, visit www.arrl.org/grid-squares [
https://www.arrl.org/grid-squares?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] . All authorized modes on the bands 50 MHz and higher are permitted to be
used in the contest.

 
You don't need to have a powerhouse contest station to enjoy this event. If
you have an HF rig that includes 6-meters and VHF/UHF capability, you've got
just the tools you need to join in the fun of this contest! With good
conditions, stations hundreds of miles away can be worked via tropo, meteor
scatter and E-skip.

 
With several different categories in which to participate, there's something
to match your favorite style of operating. Single operator participants can
enter in either all-mode, or analog-only (CW/phone) categories. From seasoned
contest veterans to newly licensed Technicians, VHF contesting is a great way
to have fun on the bands this weekend.

In Brief...

Well known and competitive contester Tom Taormina, K5RC/W7RN, passed away on
June 10, 2025. He was a licensed amateur radio operator for 66 years and was
inducted into the CQ Contest Hall of Fame in 2007. He earned the top spot in
the ARRL Sweepstakes and was instrumental in creating the North American QSO
Party, sponsored by the National Contest Journal, which he served as Editor
in 1981 and from 1989 - 1993. Along with this friend, Grady Ferguson, W5FU
(SK), Taormina built the Comstock Memorial Station, W7RN, in Reno, Nevada,
and hosted a long list of elite competitive operators.

Taormina was an Life Member ARRL member.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

The ARRL Solar Report

ARRL Solar Report June 12, 2025

Solar activity was at low levels, with only C-class flares observed the past
48 hours. There were flares observed beyond the east limb, but no responsible
region has yet come into view. Flaring was also observed just before 0600 UTC
from near region 4105 and while modeling is not yet complete, is not expected
to have an Earth-directed component. All other regions were mostly quiet and
stable in their size.


Solar flare probabilities through June 13 remain at 35 percent for M-class
(R1-R2, minor-moderate) levels. X-class (R3-strong) flare probabilities
remain at 5 percent.


The continued effects of the coronal hole (CH) high speed stream (HSS)
enhanced the greater-than-2-MeV electron flux. This flux is expected to
continue at moderate levels through 13 June due to continued geoeffective
positioning of CH in the northern hemisphere.


The 10.7-centimeter flux: June 12-14, 120; June 15, 118; June 16-17, 120;
June 18, 125.


Predicted sunspot numbers: June 12,157; June 13, 156; June 14, 146; June 15,
154.
