Field Day 2025

Field Day this year will be held at Lake Park in Winona at the intersection of Sarnia Street and Franklin Street in the open space behind the maintenance buildings and next to Johnson Field. Come join in the fun and operate one of the 2 stations. This year we will have a dedicate get-on-the-air station for non-hams to participate! Bring your family and friends to make a contact or two. We are again asking those planning to operate sign up for one or more 1-hour time slots. We would also ask that you indicate your preferred mode of operation as well to better coordinate the reconfiguration of stations as needed. The current operator schedule is posted below.
