ARRL Volunteers On the Air Event is Underway

ARRL’s yearlong operating event, Volunteers On the Air, or VOTA, began January 1, 2023. The event is organized as part of ARRL’s 2023 theme, “Year of the Volunteers,” which recognizes the contributions of ARRL member volunteers, and offers opportunities to become more active and involved in amateur radio and ARRL.

VOTA encourages participants to make contacts with ARRL members and volunteers, earning points for each contact. Point values have been assigned (see the Points Table at vota.arrl.org). All scoring is automatically calculated through ARRL’s Logbook of The World (LoTW, www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world).
