[UK-CONTEST] AFS Comfort

[ALEX LISTER]

3 tested systems
1.Operate from a field day tent then watering the earth dead easy. YCall CQ at the same time.
2.Or use the Glastonbury system - Empty beer cans. You need more than one or you will get wet hands !
3. Or as I do in the Garden & allotment keep a litre plastic milk bottle, This is easy to cap and then added amonia onto compost heap.
4.For junior ops in the car use a plastic pop bottle.

Peter,
I recommend a empty bottle of "Paul Masson" Californian wine is kept to hand (excuse pun) in your basement shack. The shape is very similar to objects used in male hospital wards and I gather is also favourite of lorry drivers. I put this to the test whilst sleeping in a "one-man" tent at Chesterfield when I came down to attend the Microwave Round Table you so efficiently organised at Sheffield. Though one was required to be a bit double-jointed in a tent, I'm positive shack utilisation would be at your convenience!
