Winter Field Day

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 

This year's WFD date are: January 24th and 25th, 2026.

W5LVC will be setting up WFD activities again at the Scout Troop 771 Barn in Flower Mound.

Our WFD czar NE5GT-Greg is always looking for volunteers to help him organizing the event. The big lifting has already happened, but he can still use some support. If you want to help, please get in touch with him.

We are planning to operate over the full 30 hours of the event using all modes and many bands! Come and join the fun!
