Answer: because there is a score, and I hate getting beat by those guys
over there!
Yes, the main object is to ring out your system(s) and maximize your
effectiveness. A really good networking M/M setup in Field Day helps beat
them other guys and makes it more fun to boot. It's really cool for any
networked station to QSY to ANY band-mode not in use at the moment without
extensive coordination. Obviously, this Field Day uncovered quite a few
networking problems.
This isn't just a FD exercise, WL networking is essential for any
multi-radio contest.
That said, my only experience with networked WL was fantastic. It was a lot
of fun. If it can be made easier to setup and more bullet-proof, then so
much the better.
