It was a good year for Field Day in Ohio, hot but no rain for the first time 
in about 5 years.  Plenty of short skip on the high bands and reasonably 
quiet low bands made for good RF conditions as well.

We use dipoles/inverted vees on HF, average maximum height of about 60 ft.  I 
spend a couple of hours on Friday shooting lines into the trees, but the rest 
of the setup began about 9 am on Saturday.  We were driving out at 3:00 pm on 
Sunday.
