[Elecraft] solar power

Thu Jun 6 19:28:00 2002

I  run my K2 on solar via a 1 sq foot cell I purchased from The Electronic
Goldmine and an old SLA battery from my Miata.  Works fine.  I do however
use a controller that I secured from a fellow in Ohio that was featured in a
QST article.  The Electronic Goldmine did have controllors for $15 that
sounded pretty nice and they are good people to deal with.  No my
brother-in-law does not own the company.  73   Tom KI3R Port Vue Pa. nr
