Amateurs from across New England are braving record cold temperatures this weekend to participate in the annual Winter Field Day event–like Jay Hoisington, KB1RZA, who writes on the Connecticut Valley FM Association list:
“Any Brave souls going to set up for Winter Field Day 2021? I plan on taking a stab at 1-O , battery power this afternoon. I’ll be heading out to set up in awhile. It is going to be a chilly one. It is an Even 0.0 F here on top of the hill right now. A bit of an improvement from -4 F at 5:30AM this morning. Wind chill advisory until 11AM. Wind is calm here for the moment but forecasted to be N-NW at 5-10MPH. Bundle up!”
