[HCRA] Home emerg power setups?

[Daniel J. Sullivan]

During the last few activations down here quite a few of the portable ops
used West Mountain Radio gear. (http://www.westmountainradio.com/) . They
mounted the batteries in the battery cases on the site here (they have
external terminals and meters for amperage/voltage), and then those were
strapped to dollies. Running the wiring to a RIGrunner then allows multiple
items to work from the battery. Laptops, FM/HF rigs, etc.

Just what I have been observing.
