[Elecraft] The Thoughts of Young Men

[BobDobson@aol.com]

In wintertime, the thoughts of young men (and women,
maybe) turn to...

SOLAR PANELS! (Yeah, right)

Well, I'm not young anymore, but it is winter, and hard as it may be
to believe, my thoughts have once again turned to solar panels.
This past summer, I bought the "Dolphin Don" solar charge controller,
the most affordable component in the chain of what was to be my
ideal of a completely solar-powered HF/VHF station.  Regrettably,
budget constraints have mandated a more modest goal.

With that in mind, I ask: Based on your own personal experiences,
what is the "best" solar panel out there that can keep the K2
battery charged?  I'm looking for something of high quality and not
necessarily portable that won't send me to Ham Heaven after hearing
the price quote.  I'm obviously not looking for a panel or set of panels
to sustain a large metropolitan city, just my K2.

Thanks in advance for your input.

73,
