WINTERHEAT 2024 is underway for the entire month of January. 
 
Same frequencies and setup as previous years. If you registered last year, then just log in. 50.350 FM has been added. 
Website........www.hamactive.com

The defacto "calling" frequency is 147.57 FM. 


Are you aware of the Winterheat Simplex event?  This runs the entire month of January.  Please see the website below for all the frequencies and to sign up for your logging account.  All logging is done on their site.  Good fun event and fascinating to experience V/U local propagation.

WINTERHEAT is a month long amateur radio simplex event.
The goal and purpose is for amateur radio operators to make as many contacts as possible over a month long period of time using only designated simplex frequencies. Contacts may be repeated with the same station(s) each day of Janurary for credit.

To see where everyone is located check out the PARTICIPANT MAP. The greater Louisville area (about 6 counties in KY/IN) has many participants.  

The event has been annual since 2020. Last year participants made nearly 50,000 contacts. The event is open to all FCC licensed amateur radio operators.

All contacts shall be voice and are either analog or digital (FM, C4FM Fusion, D-STAR, DMR), and from 6 meters through 33cm (50, 145, 223, 446, 927 mhz). There are 14 prescribed frequencies and the 4 modes.  

~6:30 pm nightly is a popular time to meet, as the many local op's complete their exchanges for the day, then at 7 pm (0000z) start all over again to cover the next day.
