I totally agree with you Zack. Field Day is the most fun out in the field,
whether you are sweating in a parking lot under a tent being bitten my
mosquitos or in your RV with air conditioning.
However, I haven't really been able to do Field Day the last several years. I
joined the N4N crew about four years ago, but I've not been able to commit.
When you can only do part time, sometimes 1D or 1E is the best you can do.
(Heck, I didn't even manage to do that this year)
