[UK-CONTEST] NFD - Contest Cumbria

[Ian Pritchard]

An excellent write-up.  I don't know if we'd have had the nerve to trust our genny as much as you did yours!.
 
Looking at your write up it seems you cut it pretty fine by using that heater!  By my reckoning it works out as follows.
 
Power available 2500 watts
Less Power consumed in heating ..2000Watts
Less lighting say 60W
Less FT1000(mp?) AC power in 235W for 100W out
Less Computer power ..say 40W
 
That left you with a headroom of 165 Watts .. It must be a good genny.

Still, the 2kw fan heater in a small camper van quickly turned it in to a 
sauna !

  It's a Chinese 
2.5kw (red) diesel version with a battery start.  I'd changed the oil the 
weekend previously and fired it up.  It only gets used once a year, but 
(touch wood) always starts first time and runs smoothly throughout the 
contest.
