[SixClub] 6 meter field day

[RICHARD BOYD]

Right.  Typical.  That's why Field Day is "not a contest."  hi.  Well, one 
of many reasons.

In fact, ARRL doesn't check logs, it's all very casual, etc. and if the 
station you worked was your basic at-home station, you would probably have 
been find just saying, "Okay, fine," and logging it as a 1D -- home station 
on commercial power.
