Get your Park ON! Winter Chill, will occur December 28-29, 2024 in celebrating the advent of Winter. The event is open to all WWFF Activators and Hunters and is sponsored by the U.S. (KFF) affiliate of World Wide Flora and Fauna (WWFF).
The GYPO Winter Chill will be an International event inviting all Activators through the world to participate. Hunters everywhere are invited to search out and contact Activators everywhere, making this truly a worldwide, DX event.
Get Your Park ON! Winter Chill will start June 29 at 0000 UTC and run through June 30 at 2359 UTC.
This event will include Get Your Park ON! Winter Chil Event Stations (GYPO SES). These stations will be active from KFF parks throughout the weekend operating with 1×1 callsigns, e.g., N5G. Hunters are encouraged to work as many of these Special Event Stations as possible, with special recognition given to those working five or more or working all for a Clean Sweep.
A complete list of the Special Event Stations will be provided at the start of GYPO Winter Chill. Their operating plans and schedules will be posted on their individual QRZ pages.
