This is now. That was then. Rules can be changed. Back then, the key word was Multi-OP. If the person was not actually OPERATING, he was not considered an operator. So a Single-OP could have someone

But Field Day is not a contest. I know some people treat it as a contest, but it isn't. Even the rules specify that you only need to send in "An attached list of stations worked by band/mode during t

Back in the 70s and into mid 80s, you needed a person to maintain the dupe sheet and to scream out DUUUUUPE as they found it. It definitely slowed down one operator back then to do both. FD allowed t
