If Field Day is an emergency-preparedness exercise and not a contest...
then maybe "2A Tennessee" is kinda meaningless as an exchange?
To toss out a radical suggestion... Maybe FD should have a REALLY LONG
exchange -- for example, a valid contact should require the passing of a
radiogram in official NTS format, with a score of one point per word in
the message body, provided it's received accurately? (how to determine
that it *was* received accurately? MD5SUM comes to mind but of course
many FD stations won't have a computer handy...)
If this post seems really dumb, please check the timestamp<grin>...
