Hello fellow radio people :) The good news is we are back on the air this weekend! We will try to spot ourselves @ https://dxheat.com/dxc/

We have BIG plans, more activity to follow!

This spring field day will be attended by our extended crew 👫 of EI2OARC which is our radio club.

The purpose of the spring field ☘️ day for us is to test the gear for the upcoming year. The gear 📻 ⚙️ was bought or made over the previous year and the winter ❄️ months.

We do have some nice 🌟 pieces more about which in the upcoming posts.

There's a new blog post up with my initial thoughts on the feedback we collected from WFD 2026:

Winter Field Day Is Now Held on the 4th Full Weekend in January

Some of you are undoubtedly saying to yourselves "What do you mean? That's when WFD has always been held!" It seems that way, but January usually has just four full weekends. We made this change to prevent Winter Field Day from falling on the occasional 5th full weekend.

As a result, Winter Field Day 2027 will be 23-24 January
