[UK-CONTEST] Consultation - NFD

[g4fka at aol.com]

Lots of debate so far.
 
Has it all got too complex I ask? In the late 1940s/early 1950s (long  before 
me I hasten to add!) there was an A and B station per group, one  single 
element wire antenna per station with both length and height limits, and  5w DC 
input maximum power. One section, one set of rules. Station calls and  locations 
were published in advance and folks seemed proud to represent their  town or 
area.
 
50 groups entered in 2006. Over 120 groups entered in 1950. So today's quiz  
question is, which NFD format was more popular?
 
NFD is the one opportunity we have to go back to the basics of setting up  
and operating a field day station. There are 51 other weekends a year to fry the 
 ionosphere and wreck our towers!
