[David Hardy]

We should be able to power the computers from local circuits.  I'll bring some extension cords

Shawn,

Ed's bringing 3 computers to FD, so I will call him at work to alert him to your email and contact you asap.

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.
