2016.06.26 Field Day (2016 was the year we were given the solar trailer, pictured along with another ham's military solar mat) |
2018.06.27 Field Day (I acquired my first 100w panel just in time for Field Day, though I didn't have a proper controller yet) |
2019.06.22 Field Day (The solar trailer doesn't have much for panels, but still packs four big 24v batteries) |
2020.06.27 Field Day (Now with two 100w panels hooked to a small controller (along with a solar USB wallet) I was finally able to charge some batteries and phones) |
2021.06.26 Field Day (Following last year's success, I decided to upgrade to eight 100w panels and a larger controller) |
2021.08.14 NIRAA picnic and swapmeet (my 8 panels made another appearance at the swap-meet, more for show-and-tell than anything else) |
2022.01.29 Winter Field Day (the first Winter Field Day was snowy but at least I managed to keep the batteries from dying) |
2022.06.25 Field Day panels (the digital station required two battery swaps, keeping my panels busy in the sunshine) |
2023.01.28 Winter Field Day (trying to adapt to another brutal Winter Field Day, testing my new solar frames to angle the panels) |
2023.02.02 eight more panels (now I have a total of sixteen 100w panels) |
2023.06.24 Summer Field Day (I was hoping to do better with 16 panels and new frames, but this time the summer weather was brutal too) |
2024.01.27 Winter Field Day (another fully overcast day, helping out at Center Point) |
