[SixClub] 6 meter field day

[RICHARD BOYD]

Field Day brings out a lot of first-time operators or once-a-year-operators, 
or operators who may be experienced and active but have never been on 6M 
before.  I would think people who understood that certain frequencies were, 
by common practice, reserved for certain things would avoid those.  Many of 
these people probably had no idea.

In a "the glass is half full" or "the glass is half empty" sense, the good 
news is that FD generated more activity in general, more 6M activity, and 
probably many people got their first taste of 6M, and that probably benefits 
the rest of us.
