[WriteLog] Field Day

[David Sher]

In a real emergency, you will probably log every contact, if only to keep track of what is happening.  An emergency is an emergency, not an excuse for rag chewing, and communications must be controlled.  Perhaps the message handling part of Field Day could be improved by changing the exchange to a message header type field, a la Sweepstakes.

I thought Field Day was supposed to be fun not "cut throat" contesting.

What ever happened to paper dupe sheets?  After all just who will log every station during an emergency. Isn't Field Day supposed to be "training" for the real thing.

Just try to bring all your fancy networked stations to a hurricane area and spend days setting them up.
