[K6BW] Field Day

Bill,

Can't the fee be waived if Field Day is technically considered an excercise
to demonstrate the use of amateur radio communications powered by alternate
energy sources or non-utility provided power?  Not to mention the fact that
amateur radio provides emergency back-up communications for local law and
fire agencies.  Maybe the RACES group can supply some political interface to
support this event.
