Why?
That's one of the things about Field Day ... to teach these folks proper
operating procedures! If we want to build the contest ranks, we
contesters must be the ones to pass along what we know to those who show
any kind of interest. If we don't take the time to teach proper
operating procedures, we can't turn around and complain about poor
operating procedures.
Our Field Day set-up included the new "GOTA" station ... which had none
other than K1TO teaching the newbies proper operating procedures! If
you're going to learn, it might as well be from one of the best.
That's what Field Day is all about.
