I hope to operate RTTY on Field Day this year. Last year I rented a
Honda generator from my local Home Depot and operated out of my house as
a 1E station (also used deep cycle batteries for power). I did operate
PSK31 at the time. If your setup and XYL will allow it, I highly
recommend this method. You can't get much more casual or fun . . . and
you don't have to worry about managers . . . other than perhaps the XYL.
