Winter Field Day (WFD) is an exciting annual event for amateur radio enthusiasts, taking place on the last full weekend of January. It offers a unique opportunity for radio operators to set up field operations in remote locations, enabling them to connect with other participants worldwide. You may choose to participate solo or get your friends, family, or whole club involved.

Winter Field Day is organized by the Winter Field Day Association. The association strongly believes that ham radio operators should practice portable emergency communications in winter environments. This is because freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and other hazards pose unique operational concerns.

The rules and procedures for Winter Field Day 2026 may be found on their website.

Current plans are to conduct WFD 2026 from the comfort of our fully-equipped classroom.  It is a warm and welcoming environment for those who do not care to be outside in Winter.

Registration is not mandatory but highly recommended so that we may properly schedule operators and also to determine how much food is needed.

Our classroom is located at:

Harrison Community Center  /  Map

Harrison, TN 37341
