The Winter Field Day will be held at Harry Browne Airport beginning at 2 PM on Saturday January 28, 2023. This will be a combined ARES and SVARA event and is open to all operators. Like the summer field day, we will have multiple stations operating from the airport conference room of the terminal building.

The 2023
Winter Field Day will be held from 1900 UCT 2:00 EST) Saturday
January 28, 2023 through 1900 UCT (2:00 EST) Sunday January 29,
2023.
The object of the event is familiar to most Amateur Radio operators: set
up emergency-style communications and make as many contacts as possible
during the 24 hour period. The rules encourage as many contacts on as
many bands and modes as possible, because during a real emergency, the
most important factor is the ability to communicate, regardless of band,
mode, distance or weather.
The official rules can be found at Winter Field Day web site and the event is open to all amateurs.
