[K3CAL] A UPS for Field Day & More Extension Cords?

[N3AE]

All, 

I stopped at Mt Hope yesterday and put the latest FD logging software on the two laptops there. Already have it on the laptop I plan to bring. 

But ... ALL THREE laptops have marginal/dead batteries. One is so dead that you have to enter the date/time in BIOS on every power-up. 

So if anyone has a UPS capable of running at least three laptops, that would be a great addition to the FD plans. Otherwise we'll be hassling with computer reboots/config/networking whenever the AC power drops; [ that never happens on FD ;-) ] 

Alternatively, if we have a power outlet in the pavilion, we could power all the computers off of SMECO's AC main. I think the rules only require that the radios be fed by emergency power for our planned class of operation. 

In either case, more extension cords will be needed.
