The club will again be entering Winter Field Day which takes place January 28 and 29, 2023. This will be an outdoor event, in cold, unpleasant conditions, snow if possible. Winter Field Day is similar to the regular field day, with much more emphasis on emergency planning including operating in rough conditions. Each year, the club operates from a forest location, colder and wetter the better. Despite the sound, it’s a lot of fun and a great tool for emergency preparedness. Some photos of previous events are below, with more photos found in the website photo album.

Any club members in good standing that would like to participate are reminded to advise club president Dave (VA7DBJ) via email (his callsign at gmail.com).

A propane heater in the shelter makes it very toasty.
