UPDATE: LARA 2026 WFD CANCELLED

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.

What is Winter Field Day?

Winter Field Day is a communications exercise.

WFD is held on the last full weekend in January.

WFD can be worked from the comfort of your home or in a remote location. You can participate by yourself or get your friends, family, or whole club involved.

Winter Field Day is open to participants worldwide. Amateur radio operators may use frequencies on the HF, VHF, or UHF bands and are free to use any mode that can faithfully transmit the required exchange intact.

Similar to the ARRL’s Field Day, bonus points are earned in several ways, including using non-commercial power sources, operating from remote locations, satellite contacts, and more. Full rules and details can be found at:  Home - WFDA 

2026 WFD dates:

January 24th and 25th, 2026.

LARA WFD location:

Scout Troop 771 Barn in Flower Mound.
