Each January, many clubs get together to challenge the elements during Winter Field Day (WFD). This year’s event is on January 27 and 28. Winter Field Day is sponsored by the Winter Field Day Association, who passionately believes that ham radio operators should practice portable emergency communications in winter environments, as the potential for freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and other hazards present unique operating concerns. WFD is formatted to help increase your level of preparedness for disasters and to improve your operating skills in subpar conditions. Maybe your club wants to brave the elements and operate outdoors, or maybe you want to gather inside someone’s shack. However you decide to operate, the real fun is getting on the air with your club.
