The next Field Day will be held over the weekend of the 18th-19th March 2017 and will run from UTC 0100 on the Saturday to 0059 on the Sunday.
The aim is to encourage and provide familiarisation with portable and field operation, and provide training for emergency situations. The rules are therefore specifically designed and focussed to encourage field operations.
See the Contest page on the WIA website for for more information and contest rules
