"The site, it are a-changin'..."
I
finally found some blogging software I can live with -- it's WordPress.
It's easy to manage, easy to write in and it installed here on the
site, so I'm not just a tiny part of some big super-hosting blog site.
I like it and it seems to be working well. So, for the thoughts you
used to find here, you'll now need to go to the blog. Just click the
link above. Thanks. ldb
A New Product Line for RWES and K5WLF
As I mentioned
briefly on another page in the site, we now have the capability to
design and fabricate integrated communication/power systems, whether
using renewable energy sources or not. These systems can be built
in a 19" rack, into road cases, or into a vehicle. -- be it car,
truck, boat or plane.
With the exception of the actual power-generating equipment (PV panels, wind turbine or genset), the rest of the system including: radio equipment, control systems, power control and conditioning gear, batteries and peripheral equipment, can be enclosed in the form factor of choice to provide a compact, rugged communications system for base, mobile, portable or deployable service. Below is a drawing of the design for a 160 meter - 70 cm station for the K5WLF home QTH. Equipment inventory includes: Yaesu FT-2800M, Yaesu FT-8800M, Icom R-75, LDG FT-Meter, LDG AT100Pro, Yaesu FT-897D, speakers, lighting and required switching and control circuitry. The equipment will be rack-mounted in custom designed and machined 19" panels. Antenna switching, power source selection and power status indicators are included in the system. A desk surface will be fitted below the bottom panel. A PSU and AGM storage battery will be installed in the bottom of the rack. Casters and side handles will allow the rack to be transported for remote deployment if required.  If you have requirements for a system of this type, please contact us for consultation and a quote.
