In Europe and Africa, Region 1 of the International
Amateur Radio Union (IARU) is not holding its annual region-wide Field Day
event in June, and is discouraging multi-operator contests and other group activities.
However, it is leaving it up to its member societies to decide whether to hold
national Field Day events.

Field Day: ARRL Declines to Set Nationwide Standard
Field Day is still on as of this writing, and the
ARRL is leaving decisions on operations up to individuals and clubs, based on
public health advice and restrictions that may still be in place by late June.
The League is recommending that clubs be flexible, and is encouraging operation
from home stations on emergency power or backyard portable operations with
temporary antennas.
