HIN "?"

Yeah the new one right next to the airport ( Same as last year )

Let me get this straight. They are charging $75 for power! So whats the point of adding lights if they are charging an arm and leg to turn them on. I was going to hookup some LCD screens and a PS2 and leave them running. Now I am not sure if its worth the trouble. Also arent power invertors DC to AC? How will they work backwards?

HIN doesnt charge those rates Thats the convention center that charges that, You pay the convention center direct, at the show, not HIN for power.

ditto this -- I have an invertor to convert DC to AC. It won't do the reverse -- what do I purchase for the AC 2 DC and where?

mucha gracias

I ran into this problem two years ago when I was entered for HIN. Most 15+ Amp convertors will cost you well over 300 dollars. However, ones can be had at Radio Shack, but they are small 5 amp outputs, which would be enough to run some exterior lighting , not systems. They are around 100 dollars last time I purchased one. If you do it smart you can return it the next day.

cool - outside lighting is what I need to run so that would be perfect and $100 isn't bad!!! Thanks for the info!
