Participating in Winter Field Day is a great way to start 2023. Newport County (RI) Radio Club has mapped out two paths to get involved.
First, using the club W1SYE call sign, NCRC will be operating a competitive HF station outdoors at Glen Park (exchange “1O RI”) and submitting a collective club score to Winter Field Day.  Plans to make a satellite contact are also underway.
Second, NCRC is offering another curated path for solo operators who want to participate in WFD operating under your own call sign.  Hoping club members will monitor the W1SYE Repeater and W1SYE Simplex frequency of 146.55 MHz during WFD to help other hams make at least one Simplex QSO as part of Winter Field Day 2023. (It’s so easy to forget how to move between the Repeater and a new or even programmed Simplex channel!)  WFD is here to help.

Please follow #WFD23 for updates.
