But I really don't care for contest/field day type of
operating all that much.

But generally, my idea of "field day" is kicking back in
one of my lawn chairs, sipping on a cold adult beverage,
and talking to all those good ole buoys on 75 or 40... :/

I'm headed that way, myself. This FD was no fun. I used to look forward to
it.

I was so busy making sure that I met all my responsibilities, I found only a
few hours to actually operate. This came after all the prep work, worry and
concern, including getting an all-electronic network log running. (That our
network logging worked perfectly in no way makes up for my having had
trouble sleeping for weeks leading up to FD.)

Next year, this job goes to somebody else.
