Don't forget we can also choose to operate as a class 2F station - this is usually a discussion point for a February or March meeting.
As a 2F, we can use all and any of our existing facilities including commercial power, except for a short period on battery or other emergency power for bonus points, and existing plus supplemental antenna equipment. Operating on the Yalesville hill gives a decided height advantage, allows for public viewing at the FH, and all the other benefits IMHO of Marcus Cooke.
Above all, remember that Field Day IS NOT a contest, but a "get out and vote" type activity. (Of course many of the 2200 entrants don't necessarily agree with me
)

<<<SNIP>>>
Maybe a Contest Committee to make recommendations on these and other possible suggestions?
