[SixClub] Field Day is 27 hours this year

[SixClub]

Don't know why this got posted to Six Club as it is obviously meant for
another localized mail list...

However, Lee's info is incorrect.....the rule allowing 27 hr operation with
the prohibition of setup before the start of the contest has ALWAYS been in
the rules...this is no change from previous years....I remember my 1st FD in
the 70s and we discussed that additional 3 hrs and decided it was not worth
waiting :) (I fell asleep on the 20mtr SSB position and got filmed by W5APX
with his then "new" 8mm movie camera....I was a young 15 at the time :)
