Solar power is one form of environmental consciousnes.  It is expensive, but our grandchildrens, grandchildrens, grandchildren will thank us.     Environmental awareness is routinely practiced by my friend Larry Warnberg.  He has designed and built an efficient solar composting toilet.  This solar-toilet can be an effective (and relieving) tool eliminating the impact of effluent on our water resources.  Please visit  Larry at Nahcotta , Wa and see his solar stuff!

SOLAR  RADIO  STATION

MAIN LONG BEACH APPROACH

SOLAR PANEL POWER

STATION OPERATORS : STANDING-VIRGINIA  KB7AUS  LEFT- PAT W7PE  RIGHT-STEVE KB7YCJ

THOUSANDS OF KITES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

THIS IS THE ENTIRE STATION.  Four solar panels are aimed at the sun. They are fed in parallel to supply 220 watts @ 12 amps to a 12 volt auto battery.   The battery powers the amateur transceiver and a 12 volt refrigerator  seen behind the taillite.  The panels alone are enough to run everything.  The white pole acts like a schock absorber for the 500' longwire antenna.  A 4' delta kite reaches a heigth over 300'.   A major heigth advantage
