Cross Roads Ham Radio Club will be hosting Winter Field Day on January 24^th, 2026 from 10 am – 4 pm in West Houston at George Bush Park, Pavilion #1 (click for map).

Winter Field Day is an exciting event for amateur radio enthusiasts, taking place on the last full weekend in January. It offers a unique opportunity for hams to set up field operations in remote locations and enables us to connect with other participants world wide.

Winter Field Day is organized by the Winter Field Day Association. The association strongly believes that ham radio operators should practice portable emergency communications in winter environments. This is because freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and other hazards pose unique operational concerns.

The Winter Field Day event aims to help participants improve their preparedness for disasters and enhance their operational abilities in adverse conditions. Amateur radio operators have the freedom to use frequencies on the HF, VHF, or UHF bands while employing voice, CW, and digital transmissions. The event designates specific objectives to encourage a diverse range of activities, including the use of non-commercial power sources, the deployment of multiple antennas, establishing satellite contacts, and more.
