I have always seen Field Day as a way to practice/demonstrate the ability to communicate under emergency conditions. In the past those conditions were assumed to be things like major storms or other natural disasters that disrupted normal communications/power. We have always made the assumption that we would still be able to gather to accomplish this. This means that we would have multiple people available to erect temporary antennas and set up stations. I see this year as just adding another hurdle to overcome in demonstrating the ultimate goal of being able to communicate under a major disaster/emergency. Rather than opting out this year, we should accept the new challenge and do what Hams do best innovate.
