**TECH NET information ** **December 7th, 2021** **- 7pm** on the County-Wide repeater network **Designing, Constructing, and Operating a Solar-Powered Remote Base Station** Many hams in remote areas with challenging terrain have wondered what they can do to relocate their equipment for better performance, even if there's no AC power nearby. Steve, KJ6EIF, will be giving a presentation on his solar-powered remote base station setup.

The Icon 7100 is an all band\\ transceiver. My Prius Plugin has large battery capacity, Anderson\\ Powerpole connectors and a Yaesu FTM 400 vhf/uhf transceiver\\ installed. The antenna works great as an inverted V on 40meters and\\ above. The mast extends to 30 feet and can be supported by bungees\\ next to the vehicle. MIke, KM6OTE //{{counter}} //
