As odd as it may sound, because of the potential for extreme winter weather this weekend, the Westport Astronomical Society amateur radio station K1WAS will not be operating for Winter Field Day.
Sometimes the smartest move is staying warm and safe. We’ll be back on the air soon. https://was-ct.org/programs/k1was/
