We're Invited - Winter Field Day 2026 — Chili, Cornbread & On-Air Fun!
Karen Jacobi
Hello BARS Members,
We've been invited to Winter Field Day 2026 — one of the most enjoyable on-air events of the year out of the Florida heat hosted by Richard Jones - KW4MB! Whether you’re newly licensed or a long-time operator, this is a perfect opportunity to connect, learn, and have fun on the air with fellow BARS members.
📅 Date: Saturday, January 24, 2026
🕘 Arrive: Anytime after 9:00 AM for fellowship
📡 On-Air Begins: 11:00 AM
🍲 Lunch: Richard’s famous chili and cornbread served at noon — a Winter Field Day tradition!
Please bring your own non-alcoholic beverages for the day. Feel free to bring a side dish or dessert to share if you’d like, but come either way — there’s always plenty to go around. Richard will have the radio station ready to go, so no need to bring your own gear.
📍 Location: 4721 Lighterwood Way, Valrico, off Bell Shoals road near the Mormon Church
It’s a relaxed day of good food, good company, and great radio. We’d especially love to see our newer members join in — it’s a perfect chance to get on the air with support from experienced Elmers.
If you have any questions, reach out to Richard Jones - KW4MB (rjon...@verizon.net) directly, or contact Karen - K4KZF and I’ll pass them along.
Hope to see you there!
