I will be working it from home.

I have to, I have to see if one of the organisers will actually DSQ me, when I 
got in a "pissing" contest over one of their bonus points being poorly worded.

"Operate six continuous hours during the event: Emergencies may last days or 
even weeks. You may be expected to man a radio station between 4-12 hours if 
you are operating alone or in shifts. Can you sit and operate for extended 
periods of time with enough backup power? This does not necessarily mean you 
are making contacts the whole time, but you are in front of the radio, 
monitoring and ready to pick up a microphone 
if you are called. OM x2"

So, in order for me to claim this, I have to hold my bladder for 6 hours, or 
claim to take an HT into bathroom, and be ready to grab it mid piss if someone 
calls CQ on my frequency?  How about makig this a bit more sensible, like 
breaks can be no longer than x minutes as indicated in the log?  Like other 
contests do for single op entries.  

I guess I will have to submit pictures of the piss jugs....
