GYPO Winter Chill 2026
Get your Park ON! Winter Chill 2026 occurs December 26-27, 2026, celebrating the winter solstice. 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 is 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 December 26 at 0000 UTC and run through December 27 at 2359 UTC.
This event includes Special Event Stations (GYPO SES). These stations potentially will be active from Europe, Oceania, and North America parks throughout the week. KFF SESs will be 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. For a Clean Sweep, activators can work all SESs within a continent. A bonus recognition will be offered for those working all SESs from all continents. 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.
