  9am - Sun, July 10th @ Jefferson Manor Park Hello everyone,I was talking with Don, KI4D, about battery/solar setups and thought that it might be fun to set up a gear "show and tell" at one of the local parks to go over what we've done for our setups and give others a chance to see some new ideas. I was able to run my station from home for Field Day while I looked after my wife, as she was recovering from surgery the day before, for about 5 hours.  During that time I operated 50W CW and a laptop off my portable 60Ah battery pack and managed 110 contacts.  This setup is a "version 2" of my original 40Ah setup I covered in two videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVmH1U09l5Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv-Yy64hktAThe new version uses two 30Ah Bioenno BLF-1230A batteries, in active/standby mode.  I have a parts list at:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DCir2Rpnw9837myMApIgxAvacQOSf41Dcw9qjQ8H2WY/edit?usp=sharingWe are planning to meet at the pavilion at Jefferson Manor Park at 9am on Sunday, July the 10th.  Come join us and bring your setup, if you have. 73,Ed, W4EDF______________________________________________________________AlexandriaRadioClub mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/alexandriaradioclubHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:AlexandriaRadioClub at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
