Thanks Frank. IMO, this sort of clarification ought to be in the FD RULES, not in an FAQ. We've done 1AB QRP for at least 8 years using N1MM on a laptop running on a generator.

A few of the slower NUCs will run on 12V and are adequate for logging. Would this ruling mean that its monitor must not run on a generator or mains power?

What if the transmitter is being keyed by a WinKeyer which is controlled from a computer running on a generator?

Q. What equipment at our Field Day site must be operated off of the emergency power in order to claim the 100-point per transmitter bonus?

A. You must operate all transmitting and receiving equipment from emergency power. If you use a computer for digital modes/, and/or to control or operate the radio, /it also must use emergency power.
