10 minutes into the episode and I've purchased a GV-5 for LiFePO4. Probably should have listened to the WHOLE episode to make sure i didn't need anything else. George/Jeremy - you're great and the show is a gift! Thank you!

On the tilting panels topic... The RV Geeks just published a new video showing their solar setup with actuator lifted panels!

Great episode. If possible, a great followup episode might include a round table discussion with representatives from Powerfilm, Bioenno, and Genasun to walk through typical solutions for best builds for SOTA, Field Day, and base stations.

The guy George mentioned at around 1:10 in the podcast is Will Prowse. All of his youtube video's are very worthwhile IMHO. He also has a DIY solar forum with a ton of good info and good people on it. I would recommend taking a look if you have an interest in Solar. I also recommended HRBO there as you can see here:

For Jeremy here is a simple tracker that uses small, cheap panels to turn a mount for the main panels: Leave a Reply. |
