Ah, Field Day is all about improvising.  Place 526 in CW mode, use PTT
button on hand microphone as a straight key.  Worked a couple of guys
on 6m CW in the June VHF contest that way...

I've done the same thing with tactical manpacks in the past (e.g. PRC-104, PRC-138, etc.).  The downside is that the H-250 handset gets pretty darn painful to use after a short time!
