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. :)
