I have particpated in the Field Day activities of two different clubs
over the past three years, and I recall seeing many cases of cans of
soda and but a single can of beer ("lite").

Some wives and whole families were at the Holland (MI) Amateur Radio
Club's FD site for the whole weekend this year, and many other wives
came for the Saturday evening potluck.

Dude. Field day is NOT a "radio" contest. It's a beer drinking
contest, and many people use it as a good excuse to get
away from the XYL for the weekend. You'll find a few contesters,
Walt, but most of the ops are weekend warriors....
