In Florida few of us participate in the ARRL SET held in October as its
not a good time of the year usually. In the West Central Florida
Section we do our SET in February or March when we are out of hurricane
season. I think other areas also do not do SET at that time due other
conflicts.
There aren't any awards for Field Day as far as I know.
I do think the bonus structure and point structure could be simplified.
Even though I am a contester, I don't treat FD as a contest. I rarely
get in much radio time. I spend more time socializing and eating!
I go by "live and let live." If you want to do it serious, go for it.
If you don't, then don't.
