Winter Field Day Association
Winter Field Day Association (WFDA) is a dedicated group of Amateur Radio Operators who believe that emergency communications in a winter environment is just as important as the preparations and practice that is done each summer but with some additional unique operational concerns.

We believe as do those entities of ARRL Organizations like ARES & RACES that maintaining your operational skills should not be limited to fair weather scenarios. 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. This is why WFD is open to all licensed amateur radio operators worldwide.

Marion County ARES is assisting with this years' BikeMS.

The ride begins and ends at the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds. We will need amateur radio operators to provide communications at rest stops in Boone, Hamilton, and Tipton Counties, to track the progress of the riders through the event, and to serve as Net Control operators.
