WECA participates in at least one event every month - more in the spring and summer as a free public service. A special event funded by member donations takes place at the Blythdale Children's Hospital in December. WECA also provides educational and information services to it's members, the amateur radio community and the general public. Once a year, on the last weekend in June, WECA participates in Field Day.
Field day is a large-scale test of our emergency field communications.
We engage in friendly competition with other hams around the country who have set up similar field communications. Field day is also a good place for members of the public to see ham radio in action, and, is a social gathering for members of the club. Please contact the Director of Public Service to find out more.
