All are welcome to join us at Wincrest Park for the annual ARRL Field Day. Come see what ham radio is all about.

Field Day is ham radio's open house. Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio.

It's with a very heavy heart that we're letting you know that the Winona community has lost one of Winona and Amateur Radio's best. Erik Brom - WB0NIU became a silent key December 23, 2021. He was an incredible volunteer and technical resource for the Winona Amateur Radio Club for decades. RIP Erik you will be truly missed.
