[UK-CONTEST] Portable Generators....

[John Warburton G4IRN]

A few years ago I bought an SDMO inverter generator (something like the one on this link:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SDMO-Inverter-Neo-1000-0-9kW/dp/B003WE9S9U)

It was so electrically noisy when we tried it at NFD that I sent it back and got my money refunded! We've since bought
a 'normal' generator and use it with a voltage regulator unit - we now have no problems whatsoever.

So, be wary of the inverter types - if you can afford it, Honda seems the way to go.

Slightly off topic but?I would be interested to hear what portable contest
stations are using in the way of generators and what equipment?it powers.
