[UK-CONTEST] Generator reccomendations?

[John Lemay]

Hi all

This should be interesting, and I'd like to see the coverage expanded to
larger generators suitable for multiband contesting in the field. We
regularly hire generators up to 10kVA, but that's just as much a lottery as
purchasing one. Mind you, if it's rubbish we only have to run for one
contest !

In case you're wondering how on earth 10kVA is called for, I find that's the
best way of producing sufficient headroom so there's minimal volts sag.

My preference is for diesel powered, super silenced, water cooled, large
fuel tank and variable speed (voltage). But they're around ?5k new, minimum.

of I brought the XXX Genny from B&Q and it was
fab/awful/adequate....enquiring minds wish to know.

Any ideas
