Paul's situation seems like a slam-dunk case for SDR usage.
Go out five to ten minutes before top-of-hour, record the whole band xx58-xx03,
and then you're back inside where it's warm by five past the hour.
Total time outside 10-15 minutes.
Whole dial worth of stuff to tune after-the-fact will keep you busy INDOORS for
several hours unless conditions are completely "naff."
Unless you want to drag an extra battery pack along, you want a receiver that
powers up right off the host laptop's USB.
The tent is still a good idea to moderate wind / temperature / precipitation
effects on gear and operator.

As I've said before I can't run coax from my DX spot to the house. It
would cross tiger freeway and pick up a bunch of RF and electrical noise
from the building.
I am going to eventually look into a heated tent of some kind
