    The Winter Field Day Association (WFDA) sponsors the 2019 running of Winter Field Day[1], January 26 - 27. WFDA says that the ability to conduct emergency communication in a winter environment is just as important as the preparation and practice that take place each summer, but with some additional unique operational concerns.

    "We believe that maintaining your operational skills should not be limited to fair-weather scenarios," WFDA said in announcing this year's event. "The addition of Winter Field Day will enhance those already important skills of those that who generously volunteer their time and equipment to these organizations. Preparedness is the key to a professional and timely response during any event, and this is what local and state authorities are expecting when they reach out to emergency service groups that offer their services."

    The event is open to all radio amateurs.ÿ
