WINTER FIELD DAY
December 29th, 2009 by hamslife
Every ham knows about field day sponsored by the ARRL held on the last weekend of June. Very few hams know about the winter field day on the last weekend of January sponsored by Society for the Preservation of Amateur Radio (SPAR).
One of the purposes of field day is to test readiness for emergency operation. Emergencies and disasters are not limited to the summer months. Winter disasters can many times be more devastating then summer disasters.
