CVARC Winter Field Day

Amateur Radio operators from the Chippewa Valley Amateur Radio Club will be on-the-air during Winter Field Day, January 29, 2022 through January 30, 2022. They’ll be located in the parking lot at the corner of Hallie Rd. and 27^th Ave. in Lake Hallie. (see attached map.) This exercise tests their ability to operate using portable stations with temporary antennas, all while not relying on commercial power!

Winter Field Day begins Saturday, January 29, 2022 at 1:00pm and runs through Sunday, January 30, 2022 at 1:00pm. Amateur Radio Operators across the country participate in the event. Even around the world!

Members of CVARC will begin setting up for the event at approximately 10:00am Saturday with plans to be fully operational by 1:00pm. Utilizing their NEW Emergency Communications Trailer, they will operate using batteries, solar, and a dual-fuel generator.

This event, which started in 2007, is sponsored by the Winter Field Day Association (www.winterfieldday.com). Unlike the ARRL sponsored Field Day in June, Amateur Radio operators will be out in less than ideal conditions, such as snow, rain, sleet, below-freezing and sub-zero temperatures!

If you’d like more information about Amateur Radio, or how to become a licensed amateur radio operator we invite you to visit the ARRL website. Or, check the CVARC website.

If you’d like to help out, or are a licensed Amateur Radio operator and would like to sign-up to operate one of the stations, please contact Phil at phil.w9prs@w9cva.org. We have lots of time slots available!

Not yet an Amateur Radio operator? Not a problem! Stop by and Get-On-The-Air today!
