[Elecraft] N1MM and KX3

[Bill Frantz]

For me, Field Day is how I cut my eye teeth on contesting, so I 
consider it a contest. But it is also so much more: Public 
outreach, Party, Camping trip, Emergency preparedness drill, 
etc. etc. etc.

On the other hand, I generally don't enter contests to try to 
have a big score. I enter them to have fun. (But big scores are 
fun too.) For example, to test my digital station for Field Day, 
I entered the Ukrainian RTTY contest. Working in that contest 
got all the bugs worked out of my setup, and reminded me how to 
get around the bugs in the computer software I used. The big 
bonus was two ATNOs.
