For 13 years I've mostly found a place near power at contests,
and carry a portable generator for sites where that is not possible.
Not a big deal. Especially at sites where they're nice enough to
reserve a tie-down near an adequate power outlet (special thanks to Rich
and Jayne). At Minden I've sometimes been able to rent a hangar
with power during a contest, sometimes tied down in front of office.
And so forth. Like I said, not a big deal.

Bigger problem is keeping the machine working ;-(
