[WriteLog] Field Day

[Rob]

What's the big deal? Field Day is not cut throat. There are no section, 
province or dx multipliers. I use a computer to avoid calling someone on the 
same band/mode for a second time (I wish some others had computers and good 
programs instead of calling me three times on the same band/mode - sometimes 
within minutes of the first QSO!). Is that a crime? I remember back to the 
days of Sweepstakes, dupe sheets, and only K and W prefixes. There were lots 
more "dupes" then than there are now even with all the fancy prefixes. I 
believe the difference (an improvement, for sure) can be attributed to 
computers.
