It's a lot of fun, although as you can imagine, putting up a station
of that magnitude is a lot of work. I'm usually exhausted by the time
we're finished. Thank goodness for the guys that come out to help
setup and tear down. We have several who like to do that, but don't
care for operating. They're every bit as important as the operators.

I am one of the "roadies" for field day.
I used to take part in the VHF QSO parties back in the '80s.

I was easy to find. I was the one with the 10x12' tent with
the 8' buffet table with the test equipment and tools, a
fridge, microwave and an air conditioner.

Around '87 or so, a bunch of us decided to tackle the HF
Field day activities. I told them, "I will stage things and
keep everyone focused." For a loosely organized bunch on their
first time out I think we did pretty good, we came in 10th
place for our category. *grins* Shanktooth ARC
