The Total points in 2024 Field Day Exercise for NØPR is 2170 and that included 510 bonus points for achieving several tasks that have been provided to encourage successful Field Day Events and promotion of Amateur Radio. This year the MCARC Field Day Report was submited as an applet rather than in the paper form we have used in the past. Ron Harrison, NTØC and Dale, KØKY worked together to get it sent. Ron Harrison, NTØC used N1MM logging program and printed out a chart of the Secons and Provinces worked. We worked all but 3 Secons this year, missing only CT, ID, and VI.
