Yes Wayne, it was one of the greatest Field Days of all. You could
track the course of sunlight on 10 meters (which went dead at sundown),
and there was a lot of activity.
I was 17 in 1957, and had been licensed since '55
While the ARRL did not list it as a contest, it was regarded as a
contest by most all operators - the ARRL also posted the high scorers at
the top of each category.

Jim,
I bet FD in 1957 was a real hoot (at the record peak of the sunspot cycle).
(FWIW, I was born in '57, which explains a lot.)
