NO TIME TO PREPARE - Grab what you ALREADY HAVE prepared and go to it...If we use field day to prepare, then when do we simultae an actual event? I would rather be prepared EVERY day rather than ONE day... That's my point. Obviously if you are NOT prepared by field day - then BRAVO for taking the time at field day to prepare. I think we are saying the same thing. I just want to be prepared in advance of field day... THANKS for your comment! Jon Kreski, AB9NN Although I am speaking from my point of view as a New Zealander I have no doubt similar situations exist in other countries. Field day is the only time that amateurs get to sort out the many things that are needed. Many of the resources are used elsewhere on a daily basis. For this reason the simple fact that organisation is required is a valuable excercise in itself. Field day is all about being prepared to be prepared and having a bit of fun on the way therefor I put it to you that you may be missing the whole point of the exercise. I say Field day is an event and not a contest. 73 Peter ZL1UPB http://zlham.blogspot.com/ My point is that we should be prepared BEFORE field day (for every day) and use field day as if it were an unexpected tragic event.
