 Anybody else planning to go out on FD this year?
 
 We're going to do a fair sized effort again under W3YA.
 
 It will be high power, probably 3 stations. I have to confess though,
 I would really like to get back to a low power setup. By the time we
 put up and take down 3 portable towers, a  couple beams - especially
 the 40 meter, and the wire antennas for the lower bands, we are pretty
 beat up  Sunday afternoon.
 
 Best field day I ever had was with a low power effort, two stations,
 two OCF dipoles, and some quick setup shelters. We got as many points
 as the high power efforts, and it only took a half hour to tear down,
 vs 4 for the big gun setup. I'm going to have to try to talk them into
 that next year.
