One of the gang brought his K3 to Field Day last year, but I think he was pretty much the sole op. We operate in the four-transmitter class, so there isn't much need even to change bands. Although, we've had pretty much an exclusive K2 Field Day since they were available.
I remember when I got my Ten-Tec Omni-VI+ ten or so years ago. One of the club members asked - in all seriousness - if I was taking it to Field Day. I think my response was something along the lines of, "You've got to be high!" :-) The response was a combination of concern that it would be difficult to operate, that someone might mess it up, and taking a rig of a certain size or value out in the elements. Back in the late 60s, when I was a fairly new ham, I took my Drake "4-Line" twins to Field Day to run the 40m SSB station. Back then, the controls on a given receiver/transmitter didn't vary much from manufacturer to manufacturer, and transmitters tuned up the same way. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 5/11/2012 10:13 AM, Rose wrote: > Been there, done that, as they say ...
