Also, a CW trained operator can also proficiently operate phone, BUT  a 
phone op that has not learned to operate CW isn't going to make many CW 
QSOs. This is not a good reason to abandon CW operation any more than 
the other statement is a good reason to not bring a dual paddle to Field 
Day.

All who show up to operate at a group Field Day setup should arrive with 
their preferred style of key and headphones, and a selection of adaptors 
to fit common key and phone jacks. Probably a good idea to bring your 
own keyer too.
