Winter Field Day 2025 https://crrg.dev/winter-field-day-2025/ Thu, 23 Jan 2025 23:08:29 +0000 https://del.ayf.mybluehost.me/website_d8c9afeb/?p=2646 January 25th & 26th, 2025

Winter Field Day is an exciting annual event for amateur radio enthusiasts, taking place on the last full weekend of January. It offers a unique opportunity for radio operators to set up field operations in remote locations, enabling them to connect with other participants worldwide. You may choose to participate solo or get your your friends, family, or whole club involved. Winter Field Day is organized by the Winter Field Day Association. The association strongly believes that ham radio operators should practice portable emergency communications in winter environments. This is because freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and other hazards pose unique operational concerns.

See the WFD website for all the details and bulletin schedule –> https://winterfieldday.org/
