Everyone “plays” radio differently.

Some chase DX.
Some love digital modes.
Some build antennas, collect QSLs, or just enjoy a good rag chew.

However you do it—that’s how you play radio.

📻 Tell us: How do you play radio?
👉 What’s your favorite part?

Gearing up for Winter Field Day! ❄️📡

Due to the weather (and those lovely New England temps 🥶), we’re doing Winter Field Day a little differently this year…

👉 Indoors.
👉 Heat ON.
👉 Still battery operated.

Warm operators, warm radios, same Field Day spirit.

🍽 On the menu:
Tuna casserole for lunch/dinner + snacks to keep us fueled and on the air.

📍 Important:
Because of the location this year, this is a closed event for active members only.
If you’d like to come operate, learn, or just watch and hang out, please let us know and I’ll send you the address.

Cold outside.
Cozy inside.
Radios on. 🔥📻

📡 Winter Field Day — New England Style ❄️😄

This year we’re doing Winter Field Day a little differently…😂

Since we live in New England and I truly hate the cold, we’ll be working Winter Field Day indoors. With the club room unavailable, I’m opening up my home in Rochester and hosting WFD for active members.

👉 This is an invite to active club members only.
If you’d like to participate, please let me know and I’ll get you my address along with details on what you’ll need to bring to operate.

⚠️ Note: There will be no digital modes for this event.

Whether you want to operate or just come by to support, I hope some of you can make it!

🗓 January 24–25
📻 Winter Field Day
🏠 Indoors, warm, and radio-ready
