Let me know when you're ready, Mike! I've still got to get my station put
back together in the wake of Field Day.

Field day is definitely rough on the equipment. Must be that sleep
deprived carelessness of the tear-down afterward!

Mike:

Oh, you mean like "disconnecting" antenna rotor control boxes with a
pair of dikes? Yes, indeed. 12 hours to set up, 2 to tear down!
Fortunately, I'm not that hard on my own equipment, just a bit
unmotivated to get the station set back up for at least a month after
Field Day. Since I run the digital mode station for my club, I have
to take not only my radios, but my whole bloody computer system
as well. Fortunately, that's the easiest thing to return to functional
normalcy at the home QTH. Can't be missing out on rrap now, can I?
