It usually means anyone who participates in any meaningful way. Consider the following FD tasks: - planning - getting permissions to use a site, set up antennas, etc. - rounding up equipment, including rentals - getting publicity - carting stuff to the site & back - setting up & taking down - operating & logging - support services (keeping the generator running, feeding the multitude, fixing stuff that breaks) - writing up and sending in the report etc. Wouldn't you consider someone who does even one of the above as a participant? Could be something as simple as the person who drops off a generator or other vital piece of equipment at the site at the beginning of FD and picks it up at the end. IMHO, the more the merrier. 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
