[Elecraft] K1: most countries worked? solar panel recommendations?

Wed Mar 19 18:08:01 2003

I use one from United Solar Systems Corporation.  It's a Uni Solar model USF-11.  It runs 11 watts and I normally use it to recharge my gel cells while out in the boonies.  
It's flexible and can hang from my pack and recharge the batteries while I'm hiking.
