What is it
Winter Field Day is a once a year 24hr emergency preparidness event for radio amateurs (Hams). During the event, we try and make as many radio contacts with other Hams in a 24 hour period. Bonus points are awarded for operating outside or using alternate power sources, such as battery/solar/wind. You can find out more about Winter Field Day by visiting the WFDA. You can find out more about amateur radio by visiting the ARRL.
No really what is it
This server listens to multicast logging packets generated by multiple wfdlogger clients. So a group or club can submit a group cabrillo log.
