Gerry,
Thanks. What is the logic for that? Curious...

Except if the computer is used to key the rig, then it has to be on
emergency power.
If it is used only to log, it doesn't need to be emergency powered.

Technically, only the rigs need to be on emergency power in the Class A
category. All other items (i.e lights, computer, etc.) can be on
commercial
mains.

The FD rules specify the rig must be run from a power source other than
mains.
But how would station accessories (like a power meter used to ensure QRP
power compliance, for example) or non-station gear (lighting, computer,
etc)
treated?
I can see it either way. However, it seems to me that in a real
emergency, the only thing that counts is power to the rig. Anything a guy
brings to
facilitate contest scoring (computers), personal comfort (electric seat
warmer) or whatever would not be there in an emergency and I expect is not
considered “rig”.
