Winter Field Day, the last full weekend in January.Field Day - the summer version - is the most popular event on the ham radio calendar. The winter version isn't even close, but it is a thing. And many hams are passionate about it. Our guest Marvin Turner W0MET, King of Winter Field Day (so dubbed by host Gary K4AAQ) tells us all about it.The weather is kind of an upside-down, of course. While summer Field Day is more or less pleasant in the northern US and Canada, it's hot and muggy in the southeast, and just hot in the west. Late January can be serious winter iun the north, and more temperate as you head south, though ‘summer-like' may be reserved for Florida. Winter Field Day isn't just the winter version of it's summer event. Some rules are the same, but many are different. For one thing, ‘Winter' Field Day is worldwide (with half the world actually being ‘summer', but who's counting). And it may be a bit more emcomm focused. Marvin tells us all about it.
Today I welcome some of the folks from the Winter Field Day Board to come onto the Livestream and talk about this year's Winter Field Day plans, rules, and event ideas. Check their website below, and let me know if you plan to participate this year!Website https://www.winterfieldday.com

For most of us, the first thing that comes to mind when we think of winter and ham radio is the Winter Field Day contest. For those of us who enjoy operating our ham radio in the field year round, winter brings with it several other events that are not as well known. For example, the Arizona ScQRPions, a QRP ham radio club, hosts the FYBO contest every year. This event is a QRP contest with very interesting multipliers and exchanges that include your cold weather conditions. Mike K7DD from the Arizona ScQRPions is the man in charge of this contest and joins us to talk about it. So if you think you have what it takes to operate ham radio while Freezing Your Butt Off (FYBO) then join us to hear how you can participate. Arizona ScQRPions: https://qrpcontest.com/FYBO QRPer copy of the contest rules: https://qrper.com/tag/fybo-2022/ Polar Bear Groups Dot IO site: https://groups.io/g/PolarBearQRPOps ALSO!!!!

On this episode, we're heading to WinterFest. WinterFest is the largest ham radio show in the St. Louis area. That said, we have to ask. Are hamfests dying? We'll talk about it. Plus, it's Winter Field Day! This year, Christian passes on the old wooden shed and goes mobile. Will the new install make the trip? We'll find out. All of this and more on this edition of 100 Watts and a Wire.
When working with circuits diagnosis and design become nearly impossible if you can’t see what’s going on. Digilent has created a super portable and affordable instrument that when combined with its Waveform software suite, it delivers to its users a bench worth of test and measurement instruments in a USB device slightly larger than a deck of playing cards. George has been a huge fan of this device for a while and suggests that it’s a great option for those who need a lot of capability on a budget or those who need a lot of instruments in a portable package. Join Kaitlyn Franz, Instrumentation Product Manager for Digilent, as she introduces us to the many functions of the Digilent Analog Discovery 2.

In this episode we discuss winter field day plans with Clint Miller KC0JUO. We also cover how events like this is a great tool to practice your emergency communication plans in an all weather environment.
The annual Winter Field Day event is held the last full weekend of January (28-29 2017). Much like it's Summer-time cousin, Winter Field Day (WFD) is focused on ham radio operations in less than ideal emergent conditions. Emergencies happen everyday, and usually when the weather isn't cooperating! WFD like the ARRL Field Day gives Amateur Radio Operators a chance to hone their skills in those challenging environments while enjoying the camaraderie of the hobby. Open to ALL Amateur Radio Operators around the Globe, WFD continues to see growth every year! Tom Phelps, WD8MBE, and WFD Association looks forward to the event and encourages anyone with questions or comments to please visit their WFD website at www.winterfieldday.com . It doesn't have to be snowy in your neighborhood to participate, the key is to Get On The Air for Winter Field Day! It's a World-Wide Event open to All Amateurs who wish to join in the fun! 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. Winter Field Day is January 28-29 2017. For further inspirations we've linked some past WFD videos below. I look forward to hearing you on the air for Winter Field Day! Erik, WX4ET, has posted some great shots from his WFD last year Here A Special Thanks to all participants on the WFD Facebook Group who sent links and photos! join them at https://www.facebook.com/groups/winterfieldday/ Winter Field Day Rules More Details and Links found on the WFD page!

Ham Radio and Business Travel with John, N7PUG. (Apartment Dweller Hints too!) Contest Winners Mentioned in the Show! John Pugliano, N7PUG, is a Licensed Amateur and Frequent Business Traveler (a great podcaster too!). Not one to waste his evenings away from home in the hotel bar, John takes along his HF gear to provide entertainment and make contacts! In this program we discuss what to take and how to pack it for travel. Best operating practices, positions, even rental car ops are discussed. We also touch on the subject of operating while residing in an apartment building. Even if you never travel, don't discount the information presented in this show! There are many tips and tricks we can all learn from John's experiences.

Reviewer name: cb_abq Country: USA Date: January 13, 2016 Rating: Comment: Well done gentlemen! That is the most information delivered about microcontroller and embedded Linux systems related to ham radio, and other applications, that I have heard in any podcast, ever. This is great information to enable anyone, whether an EE, or just an interested consumer to build a project based on either of these closely related technologies. KJ6VU and KF7IJZ are really well informed and articulate on all things ham. Fantastic!
