The “Orchard City Amateur Radio Club” participated in this years “Winter Field Day”  I few members came out to test their contesting skills.

The 20, 15, and 10m where active!

Thanks to all who helped in the setup and manning the stations.

One of the newest contest from ARRL is the winter field day. Like the original Field day, it shares many of the same rules and challenges but held in January.

This year it falls on January 25th and 26th.  We plan to get our feet wet by holding it at our Chute Lake shack.

We will commence at 11:00 am Saturday local time until 2:00 pm Sunday.  Operators and loggers needed. No experience necessary.

Hello. Rebecca VA7BEC here, contest coordinator for the British Columbia QSO Party presented by Orca DX and Contest Club.

I hope 2025 has started off on a good note. May it be a happy, healthy and memorable-for-all-the-right-reasons year for you and yours.

This email is an early reminder about the 2025 running of the British Columbia QSO Party. I realize the email has TLDR (too long, didn’t read) potential, but it contains useful info — updates for regular participants in BCQP and hints and links for beginners.
