    Get bonus points for writing a press release for Field Day

    Yikes! I just read the rules for Field Day 2022, and the rule about getting publicity for  your Field Day operation has changed. In years past, you
    scored bonus points if you just submitted a press release. This year,
    however, you must actually get some publicity. The Field Day 2022 FAQ page says:

    In order to claim the media bonus, you must obtain publicity with the
    media. This is a rule change for 2022. Proof of the publicity must be
    provided in order to claim the bonus points.

    I know time is short, but can still do it. Here are som examples of
    publicity that other clubs have already obtained:

    Amateur Radio Field Day demonstrates science, skill, service
    Public invited to ham radio club’s field day
    Fulton Amateur Radio Club takes part in National ARRL Field Day June 25-26
    Ham radio operators demonstrate skills in nationwide event


    And, finally, heres a PDF of the press release that I have submitted to our local media.
