Winter Field Day 2026
The DARC leadership has decided to cancel Winter Field Day plans for 2026 due to the high potential for severe weather in the DFW area, which could make the event unsafe or unenjoyable.
We encourage everyone who is able to participate from their home stations instead. You may operate under your own callsign using the category, class, and location “1H NTX.” Full details and rules are available at https://winterfieldday.org/sop.php
While operating from home, please feel free to join us on our Discord server to share contacts, band openings, and other activity. You can join here: https://discord.com/invite/caJqhjSv
Most importantly, please stay safe and warm this weekend. Keep a radio handy and monitor our 146.88 repeater for SKYWARN and other RACES activations.
