Good point, Dave. We used SB-101's and HW-100's on Field Day in the 70's
and they were great. The worst rig I ever used on FD was a Collins
KWM-2A, because it wasn't designed for CW. It had no separate CW
crystal, so it used the SSB crystals, resulting in a CW offset of 1500
Hz! People using CW filters couldn't hear it.

I much preferred my Drake R4C (7th from the bottom) to my Kenwood 830 (5th
from the top).
The Yaesu 1000D has a good record as a proven dx machine, and it is WAY off
from the top.
Field day? You never know what the other than optimum AC line voltage and
the strong RF environment will do to a rig. Back in the '70s the king of
field day was an SB102. They did just great!!

First, TNX to all for the suggestions on antenna possibilities for dad.
I'll
have to get with him and do some experimenting. BTW he's apparently still
planning to stay active on ham radio: he just renewed his license -- at
age
90!
Second, I noted W4ZV's post on the recent additions to Sherwood's test
table
with interest as an IC-7000 is apparently slated to be part of the package
in
our county's new mobile EOC (note that I was _not_ involved in the
equipment
selection process). Is it my limited understanding of the specs cited, or
is
the IC-7000 -- well --- unimpressive (to be polite) according to
Sherwood's
tests? I'm just wondering how it will stand up in real-world conditions
(like
if the club decides to "borrow" it for field day use). Looks like I need
to
figure on dragging one of my old PTO based TT rigs out to the site if they
talk me into running the club's "token" CW station again this FD....
