Well, you have a car, right?
I thought you ran the ts-480 mobile at one time, but that may be a faulty
memory on my part.
Sounds like you have a gas powered battery charger, right there.
It probably gets 30 MPG.
Surely your lovely XYL wouldn't mind if you borrowed the car battery, right?
So what if you can't get home. The camp ground is nice, right?
Who wants to go home anyway?

Not sure how I could do that here, since I don't have a battery charger, but
it would be a nice idea.

Tom, can you run the station off of 12 volts, and charge the battery off the
110 line?
Wouldn't that make you 1B or 1E?

There are bonus points and multiplication factors for doing various
things various ways that get tacked on at the end. But the basic QSO
point structure doesn't change.
