I've tried to stay on Valley floor for field day only because of my setup works best, antenna wise, on flat terrain. Mostly dipoles and the occasional beam when available.

Only 20m? I know that is usually the busiest but I also like to hit 40 and even 10m. I have an old 11m beam I picked up for free. Gonna try 10m on it.
