UPDATE: LARA 2026 WFD CANCELLED
Notice to all interested operators
W5LVC had planned to setup the 2026 WFD activities at the Scout Troop 771 Barn in Flower Mound.
Due to the winter storm forecasted to hit DFW over the weekend, LARA decided to CANCEL the club's WFD activities.
You can still participate from your own station using your callsign and the 1H category. Have fun and stay warm and safe. We will be back for the 2027 WFD.
