[CQ-Contest] FD observations and suggestion

[N7MAL]

I think the attraction of Field is there is something for everyone. 
Invitation only clubs are fine but so are wide open clubs. I saw an 
invitation from a club where smoking, drinking, drugs, etc were not 
permitted and that's fine to. I've been a 'hired-gun' at a Field Day site 
and have run another. Field day is a time for hams to get together and be 
hams for a day. Then just for added fun there is a non-contest contest going 
on. The ARRL has done a good job with the Field Day rules. If I were asked 
to make a recommendation it would be to limit 'D' stations to one 
transmitter.
Participate in Field Day in whatever manner is comfortable for you but 
please don't criticize another ham for participating the way he feels 
comfortable for him/her.
Please copy.....Best 73

  Where I am, I think several of the local clubs frown upon "corntester"
  field day attendance.  Some have resorted to doing "secret field day"
  where the final location is only released to "invitees" on the day of
  the event!  Good way to thwart contesters??  There are still some good
  groups, you just have to find them.
