4.  Winter Field Day 2023

Winter Field Day (WFD), sponsored by the Winter Field Day Association,
is coming soon.
This year, the dates are January 28 and 29. Radio clubs around the
country are activating for this event.
Complete rules can be found on the WFD website.
WFD is a communications exercise and is held annually on the last full
weekend in January. The Winter
Field Day Association 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 operational concerns. WFD is formatted to help
increase your level of preparedness
for disasters and improve your operational skills in subpar conditions.
