Solar Power your Portable Ham Radio | Introduction
Introduction to solar power for portable ham radio oh8stn
Hello Portable Operators.
This episode of oh8stn ham radio is the first of a series called "how to solar power your portable ham radio". This episodes focuses on solar power and battery storage for mobile, low power and QRP portable amateur stations, operating off-grid. The episode covers my own experiences with popular solar panel brands, charge controller options, battery packs, solar storage options and explains the best way to build your own portable solar powered go kit for EMCOMM, POTA, SOTA or even preparedness. Later in the series we will look at both DIY and ready to run battery pack options, to get your station ready for off grid operation.
This video series continues where my guest post on the PowerFilm blog left off. You can read the original blog post here: http://oh8stn.net/PowerFilmBlog
