Subject: [UK-CONTEST] Comfort stops
There are two things you can do to prevent frequent trips to the small room, first avoid tea and coffee just before a contest, these act as a diuretic especially as one gets older. The other is to carry out frequent pelvic floor exercises. This is very beneficial to us wrinkleries and at 75 I only have to make one trip during the night!
Maybe at the next HF Convention Contest University this could be a feature!!
You could also try the croc clip method (large or small) but viewing the monitor through the tears is difficult HI.

Peter,
I recommend a empty bottle of "Paul Masson" Californian wine is kept to hand (excuse pun) in your basement shack. The shape is very similar to objects used in male hospital wards and I gather is also favourite of lorry drivers. I put this to the test whilst sleeping in a "one-man" tent at Chesterfield when I came down to attend the Microwave Round Table you so efficiently organised at Sheffield. Though one was required to be a bit double-jointed in a tent, I'm positive shack utilisation would be at your convenience!

3 tested systems
1.Operate from a field day tent then watering the earth dead easy. Call CQ at the same time.
2.Or use the Glastonbury system - Empty beer cans. You need more than one or you will get wet hands !
3. Or as I do in the Garden & allotment keep a litre plastic milk bottle, This is easy to cap and then added amonia onto compost heap.
4.For junior ops in the car use a plastic pop bottle.

If I ever enter a similar contest in the States I will apply for the
call WC4GO
(that should serve a dual purpose as a good reminder and incentive to
stay put!).

I understand that 'those that know' say our generation will be the
longest lived for many years to come - perhaps you may even see the
start of the next ice age!

Apparently the professional solution is a Policeman's Friend,
For those of the male gender it clips on and hangs down ur leg.
