Planning for WFD 2019 is progressing very well. The new location has been arranged. The budget process has been completed and the money allocated to finance the event. This year, plans are to operate class "3O GTA" (3 transmitters/outside location/Greater Toronto Area). Stations proposed are 80m, 40, 20m Modes: PH, CW, DIGITAL. There will be 2 digital stations available to use this year and modes and bands will be adjusted as required during the event based on conditions and activity.
Refreshments and Food: Coffee, tea, hot chocolate will be available for visitors along with light refreshments such as Tim Bits and/or muffins. Also available to participants is hot home made soup and a Saturday dinner, a pasta dish with sausage and rolls (or caesar salad - to be determined). For the soup and dinner items, we are requesting participants to fund by DONATION, and $5 or $6 is suggested but any amount is welcome!
Fast Deployment and get on the air: Just like you might do in a real emergency, we are planning to start setup on Saturday morning and be on the air by 2 pm. I will post updates on here as required.

Steve, can you please mention the date and add it to the event calendar? Thanks.
Forgot to mention that there will also be a satellite station using FM.
