Default Do You Do Field Day?

Field Day is this weekend.
I have never been into contesting as such myself. The old "5 and 9" routine (regardless of the true signal) just didn't get it. I was always amazed that they refer to it as a test as such and then they say "just give 5 and 9, otherwise it takes to long, the other ops don't like it and it takes time away from making points."
I did 3 or 4 Field Days with clubs I was in but setting up the stations and such was more fun than the operating to me.
I enjoyed being with the people too of course.
I will stick to 17 and maybe a little on 30 meters this weekend.
