You are correct on all counts..  I only mentioned that some people consider 
that cheating (and I "understand" their feelings) as Field Day is supposed to 
be worked in the FIELD, otherwise it would be called SHACK Day, but it does 
offer something for everyone.  The homebound stations also give more contacts 
for thos in the field to work.  

Note that I said I understood the sentiment, not that I agreed with it. :)
