"To be listed as Class A, all contacts must be
made with transmitter(s) and receiver(s) operating independent of
commercial power mains."
IN the past... I DO remember that IF a computer was used for logging it
could be on "mains". Time was ... computers didn't control the rig
while logging. Also digital modes change things.
I looked at the rules and "I" could not find the "loggin with mains
power" anymore... There was a time "alt power solar" had to be 5W,
too... I used "find" in pdf .

Are you sure about that, Jack? I've seen exactly the opposite statement
(not directly from ARRL, but by someone quoting ARRL).
Second, the addition of a wall charger for the batteries puts you
firmly into class D. You can charge the batteries off solar panels to
remove this restriction.
Right.
