Amateur Radio - World Wide Communications
For many decades, throughout the world, when emergencies occur, especially when power is interrupted, civilian amateur radio operators spring into action and provide invaluable and essential emergency communications. Today, all governmental organizations have a volunteer emergency radio system built into their emergency plans and operations.
The 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. Once a year they hold their national “Winter Field Day” event. A huge number of amateur Ham radio operators, many of which are quite serious and dedicated, compete to see who can generate the most “Contacts” (People they connect with over the radio frequencies) or who can reach someone over the longest distance, and more.
