[Elecraft] KX3/KX2 remote for FD

[Edward R Cole]

I agree with what Bob says:

So a couple comments:
Whether we realize it (or not) the pandemic "is" an emergency, so 
this year's FD has different restrictions which may not be supported 
by the "contest rules".

15-years as communications chief for an emergency response 
organization, the overwhelming reality was every event is different 
and response must adjust to the changed circumstances.  I wrote the 
"Comm Plan" for each event for ICS.  Now retired eleven years.

IF you operate FD from home you can simulate some issues (like 
antenna down or no power).  Or if allowed operating in remote 
locations try single-op mobile/portable.

I have a home emergency generator so might simulate loss of power at 
home running 100w on 20m & 6m.

Our local club is still planning on a traditional FD (but state 
mandates may not allow).

I agree, specially on the first sentence.?? I've been participating in
FD since the very early '60's.? However it has become a "contest" to see
who and what organization can accumulate the most points.? A contact is
a contact, a multiplier is a mathematical term.??? It has no place in
Field Day operation.
