Winter Field Day Association home page

The goal of Winter Field Day is to help amateur radio operators improve their preparedness for disasters and enhance their operational abilities. The winter months present unique challenges for operating, including shorter days, the potential for freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and other hazards.

The annual Winter Field Day Exercise is not a contest but a practical field exercise designed to push emergency preparedness skills to the limit and test capabilities in diverse and demanding conditions. By setting up a station away from the comforts of home, you can significantly enhance your readiness for disasters and improve your operating skills in challenging environments.

Local opportunities for participation  in Winter Field Day are still under development.  New information will be posted as it becomes available,
