[LeArc] New Field day rules

[David C. Gill]

   The managerment of the Miller Brewery said they will have additional stock
and delivery personnel on duty to respond to any emergency shortage of
refreshements for Field Day.

    Emergency rooms across the country have stated that they will have
additional personnel on hand to treat amateurs bitten by insects, snakes and
bears, injured by towers falling, electrocution food poisoning, or severe
sunburn.

    National Amateur Radio organizations are considering presenting awards
for the Field Day operations who can calculate their power generation costs
at less than $2.00/ kWh.

    This year clubs may qualify for the coveted WATTS Award. Recipients are
required to prove they worked all Telephones, televisions, and toasters.
Special endorsements are available for groups making neighbor's flourescent
lights illuminate without being switched-on.

   Groups are required to log members name and callsigns who pass out from
excessive alcohol consumption, and who have extended hangovers- (also known
as Brown Bottle Flu.)  Special Event Stations will be organized in the name
of those amateurs who pass away from excessive alcohol consumption at Field
Day sites.

   Articles may be submitted to QST detailing the most novel methods of
extinguishing fuel/generator/ electrical fires during Field Day.

   Five hundred extra points will be awarded to any club whose operation
takes a full lightning strike during Field Day.

    Photo submissions are requested for any ham who is able to complete a
NORMAL (non-Field Day) QSO during Field Day weekend.

    Articles are requested about any club which has "caught and brought down"
a low-flying aircraft with its Field Day towers and antennas.

(Don't know what that means, but the ARRL uses it on every E-mail they send
me!)
