[ARC5] Command Set Field Day

[Mike Everette]

Great setup!

Take it on "real" Field Day... confound the Codeless & Clueless.  Especially when you rack up a huge number of Qs with it.  (Maybe half the club total...?)

Be warned, however, that they may do everything in their power to discredit you and your rig... the biggest laugh I had with a vintage rig came when one of those guys complained "I'm hearing you ever' 35 KHz an' I'm runnin' a Ikensu Super Zot Ray 6000!"  (Like, I'm supposed to be impressed...?)  Yeah, because his synthesizer was dirty...!
