Chuck,
Here is the ARRL answer to my question about Meteor Scatter for Field 
Day. It is just another digital mode.
I don't think there is any significant meteor activity expected for 
Field Day weekend, but I'll try it anyway during the wee hours on 6 meters.

Hi Tom:
 
The purpose of the demonstration mode is to show its effectiveness to 
provide substantial, reliable communications.  While WSJT makes weak 
signal contacts possible, the amount of data that could be handled via 
meteor scatter is such that it isn't really a useful tool in an 
emergency.  So WSJT, meteor scatter, and EME contacts are not on the 
demonstration mode list.
 
Thanks and 73

Is Meteor Scatter (WSJT modes) considered a Non-Traditional Mode for 
Field Day? Thank you.
