back to 2025.10.18 JOTA foxhunt at Ingawanis

6 solar and power:




I didn't really have the time to spare to set up solar AND prepare the fox hunt, so I just dumped the solar
gear off near the Dining Hall. I finally got time to set it up at noon when the scouts were breaking for lunch,
spreading out the panels on the ground South of the Dining Hall. I hastily hooked the controller up into the
radio that was set up there, but didn't even any pictures of it. It only gathered 85WH during the event.

I think if we do things like this again next year, I'll just bring a large solar wallet and maybe a tote or two
of misc accessories for demonstration, and not make any attempt to charge a radio station's battery. The wallet
will have enough power to charge up some cell phones and that should be enough. But unless we can get
someone to volunteer some time, there won't really be anyone there to answer questions.
