At Wimbledon club's 9 day summer camp GX3WIM @ Reigate hill this is what I did.

==============================================================
narrow farmer's lane
=======================================================================
Most of the caravans/campers & tents are powered up with 2 long ring cables
runs. The main one was an electric start 7kW diesel running on cheap farmer's
pink fuel, & I provided my 2.3.-3kW (modified) Madusa petrol generator as
backup. I also used a 800W 2 stroke & a small 500W Honda, just for my station,
if the big genny was not run during the day. (QRO still run)
As you can see with such a busy site some RF operating order has to be imposed,
& it is done by being in possession of the "club logbook for that band", giving
you permission to operate on it.
