Considering the 'sponsor' of "Winter" Field Day had this to say below, I'm not sure its worth it to add this 'contest'.   Not to mention that the sponsor doesn't use the same types of codes that the ARRL Field Day uses.  The codes in WFD would not properly fit in a 77 bit package, so its not an

Hi Dave, The simple answer is that when designing our 77-bit message payload we chose to implement support for a few contests particularly relevant to the WSJT-X modes. WSJT and its sister programs were motivated for VHF/UHF weak-signal work and have had a strong VHF+ influence from the
