Hi everyone!Winter Field Day takes place during the last full weekend of January, which in 2026 is 1/24-0800 to 1/25-1300 PST. At the December HARC meeting, I believe we talked about setting up at Redwood Acres for the event.I was just looking through the rules and objectives here, and felt inspired to start preparing and setting some personal goals. I figured I'd send out an email to get others thinking about WFD, too, particularly folks like me who are relatively new to amateuar radio and don't have much contesting experience.Here are the basic scoring rules...All ham bands except 12, 17, 30, 60mThree mode groups1pt — Voice contact2pt — CW contact2pt — Digital contactOne unique contact per band/mode combo is counted Score is total points multiplied by sum of objective multipliersObjective multipliers are:x1 Operate on 100% alternative power*x3 Operate away from home*x1 Deploy and make contacts on multiple antennas*x2 Make an FM satellite contactx3 Make a SSB or CW satellite contactx1 Send and receive at least one Winlink email*x1 Copy the WFD Special Bulletinx6 Make three contacts on six different bands*x6 Make three contacts on twelve different bandsx2 Use at least two modesx4 Operate the event QRPx2 Operate six continuous hours*Last Winter Field Day, HARC W6ZZK had a final score of 1695 with 113 contacts on voice and a multiplier of x15 (the completed objectives listed above with a *), with at least 3 contacts on 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m.I think it would be fun to try to beat the old score and knock out some more of those objectives. If need be, I'm happy to work with someone with more experience to lead the organization of the event. I will also be inviting some non-licensed friends and family to come check it out and maybe pick up a mic. Hopefully the weather isn't too wintery :)Anyways, I just wanted to get folks thinking about it.

If some folks aren't interested in this topic, they aren't forced to read it :) Anthony, might you have a link to a web page that'll show the flight path over terra firma? It wouldn't have to be a real-time, "this is where the rocket is now", although that would be cool too. But perhaps one that would show us the planned trajectory? And if I'm wanting to be greedy, maybe another one that describes the orbit details, eg inclination, azimuth, apoapsis, periapsis, etc.? -- Andrius *To know recursion, you must first know recursion.* On Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 22:01 Cliff VanCott via Harc < harc at reflector.humboldt-arc.org> wrote: > THANK YOU, Anthony, for telling us all about this stunning information.
