The annual Winter Field Day event is held the last full weekend of January
(28-29 2017).Â* Much like its Summer-time cousin, Winter Field Day (WFD) is
focused on ham radio operations in less than ideal emergent conditions.Â*
Emergencies happen everyday, and usually when the weather isnt
cooperating!Â* WFD like the ARRL Field Day gives Amateur Radio Operators a
chance to hone their skills in those challenging environments while
enjoying theÂ*camaraderie of the hobby.


Open to ALL Amateur Radio Operators around the Globe, WFD continues to see
growth every year!Â* Tom Phelps, WD8MBE, and WFD Association looks forward
to the event and encourages anyone with questions or comments to please
visit their WFD website at www.winterfieldday.com .


It doesnt have to be snowy in your neighborhood to participate, the key is
to Get On The Air for Winter Field Day!Â* Its a World-Wide Event open to All
Amateurs who wish to join in the fun!


Winter Field Day Association (WFDA) is a dedicated group of Amateur Radio
Operators who believe that emergency communications in a winter environment
is just as important as the preparations and practice that is done each
summer but with some additional unique operational concerns.

Winter Field Day is January 28-29 2017.Â* For further inspirations weve
linked some past WFD videos below.Â* I look forward to hearing you on the
air for Winter Field Day!
