During a contest everybody is 599 unless you are running qrp, then it''s
599. I guess I think of field day, as Ham radio meets camping. The thing
is to get out with the guys and their families. Make a camp fire, roast
hotdogs, play radios, test out gear and antennas, and have a few beers along
the way. That's what makes it different than any other contest.
Tents, mud, thunderstorms, tents blowing down, what fun!!!
