[CQ-Contest] 48 hour straight contest operation and human output

[Sandy Farley N7RQ]

My husband Bob K8IA tells me he ran afoul (pun intended) of his ex-XYL when a gasket failed on a device he kluged together for the same purpose some years back.  You'll have to ask him whether or not the carpet was replaced.
 
If I were serious about sitting in one spot for 48 hours, I'd be inclined to simply buy one of those portable camper potties as a chair and contest nekked.  OTOH that's tough when you're running a multi-op setup.
 
Thanks for the laugh...

Bill, W4AN (SK), who took all this very seriously, once told me of a device
he supposedly used to maximize his time in the chair.
Without getting into much detail, he claimed it allowed him more operating time
without taking bathroom breaks.

I still don't know if I actually believe he used the thing.  

It was a commercially available product called "The Stadium Pal".

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
