[CQ-Contest] field day aux gear power source

[Aldewey at aol.com]

Technically, only the rigs need to be on emergency power in the Class A  
category.  All other items (i.e lights, computer, etc.) can be on  commercial 
mains.

The FD  rules specify the rig must be run from a power source other than 
mains.   

But how would station accessories (like a power meter used to ensure  QRP 
power compliance, for example) or non-station gear (lighting, computer,  etc) 
treated?  

I can see it either way.  However, it seems  to me that in a real 
emergency, the only thing that counts is power to the  rig.  Anything a guy brings to 
facilitate contest scoring (computers),  personal comfort (electric seat 
warmer) or whatever would not be there in an  emergency and I expect is not 
considered  “rig”.
