The Field Day Committee is responsible for planning and executing all aspects of the Amateur Radio Club of Columbia County, Inc. Field Day operations.
Each year on the fourth full weekend of January, many Amateur Radio Operators participate in Winter Field Day. 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. More information regarding Winter Field Day can be found here: http://www.winterfieldday.com
Additionally each year on the fourth full weekend of June, Amateur Radio Operators from all across North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio science, skill and service to our communities and our nation by participating in the ARRL Sponsored Field Day.
