[Elecraft] Field Day

[stephen shearer]

"To be listed as Class A, all contacts must be
made with transmitter(s) and receiver(s) operating independent of 
commercial power mains."

IN the past...  I DO remember that IF a computer was used for logging it 
could be on "mains".  Time was ... computers didn't control the rig 
while logging.  Also digital modes change things.

I looked at the rules and "I" could not find the "loggin with mains 
power" anymore...  There was a time "alt power solar" had to be 5W, 
too...  I used "find" in pdf .
