Held annually on the last full weekend in January, Winter Field Day (WFD) is a communications exercise and contest that WC-ARES participates in, with groups and individuals around the country and the world. Similar to ARRL’s Field Day held in the summer, operators set up in parks, fields, operations centers and their backyards. WC-ARES will be working in conjunction with LeeCARES to set up both group’s trailers and go-kits, deploying our assets and testing our emergency preparedness.

More info about the event is available at winterfieldday.org. We will be participating from River Ranch County Park. If you want to participate, please fill out the form below.
