Winter Field Day 2019
(all are welcome)
What is that Winter Fied Day anyway???

Winter Field Day is held by dedicated groups 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.

CFMC believes, as do those entities of ARRL Organizations like ARES & RACES, that maintaining your operational skills should not be limited to fair weather scenarios!

The addition of Winter Field Day (WFD) will enhance those already important skills of those that who generously volunteer their time and equipment to these organizations.

This is why WFD is open to all licensed amateur radio operators worldwide; all are welcome to learn and participate.

Disasters are unpredictable by nature and can strike when you least expect them.
WFDA’s goal is to help enhance your skills and ready you for all environmental conditions found in the US and Canada during the spring, summer, fall and winter.

Preparedness is the key to a professional and timely response during any event, and this is what local and state authorities are expecting when they reach out to the emergency service groups that offer their services.

We are sure you will find this event a pleasant change and challenge to that of a normal summer time field day.
