Field Day is not about the points, but the food and people. However, we do care a just little bit about the points. Camaraderie is central to the event, the results also provide an opportunity to recognize the team’s collective effort.
The ARRL has published the 2026 Field Day results in the December issue of QST magazine. RMHAM competed in the 5A category and earned 17,628 points, placing third nationally and recording the highest score in W0 call area and in Colorado. Doug K2AD stated: “Very respectable showing that we can be very proud about. Great job all!” This achievement reflects the contributions of everyone involved in planning, setup, operation, and tear down.
We look forward to next year’s Field Day and another opportunity to enjoy good food, connect with fellow participants, and build on this year’s results. After all, the points don’t matter!
