[SMCARA] Field day prep update.

[Rene Ramirez]

Honestly, I really dont like the bingo building.  Why?  Antenna issues.
Sure we have or can find a ton of coax to run the leads but us funky
stations (solar/qrp/whattehhellkindofantennaisthat) kind of like being out
in the wild so to speak.  So then we arent close or in the general ops area.

I actually prefer the tent(s) but again, thats just me.  Anyone?
