It looks like NO3M had lots of fun using Ham Radio 0.5 during 
Field Day 2016. He didn't slow down the Ham Radio 2.0 ops at all.

Hi Zack 

If all us old curmudgeons who don't really care for 'Ham Radio 2' and we 
just 
'get out of the way of the ones who do', who are you going to talk to in a 
contest? 

Probably a lot of us out there that prefer 'Ham Radio 1', where you 
actually had to look for your own contacts instead of depending on 
technology to find them for you. 

Pretty soon the contest bands are going to sound like most of the SSB ops 
on FD - 'Please Copy'. 73
