Or like G4BRA you can replace item 2 with a camping trailer or your 
favourite caravan, delete item 3 and use batteries in the QRP 
section. If there weather is good you can even dispense completely 
with 2. and operate the 12 hours in daylight in the open air... 
(which I did in the low power contest).

See http://www.dsergeant.btinternet.co.uk/nfd.htm if you haven't read 
our last year report.

Last year saw a coincident 'battery challenge' event where you 
powered your rig off 8 AA cells and operated until they went flat. 
GW4ALG did very well in that and it generated some additional 
interest. Sadly the organisers have decided not to repeat it this 
year.

I notice that there are very few QRP entrants this year.
