with the event, </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">the objective is to "learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions" (<a href="http://www.arrl.org/field-day" id="LPlnk308728">http://www.arrl.org/field-day</a>).
This isn't a contest, but instead is a great opportunity for an outdoor, radio related get-together. According to the ARRL, it's the largest annual radio event in the US and Canada, so, of course, we have to participate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

shade, picnic tables, and bathrooms. The pavilion is on top of the highest hill in the park and is situated next to a large field (for a proper
<i>field</i> day) and convenient parking. Everyone and their radios are welcome, of course; y</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">ou don't have to be a student or even a licensed member to show up. We'll have
