Venue:	Branch 29 Clubrooms 400 East Coast Road Sunnynook Auckland
Presenter:	Terry James ZL1HOG, Bill Girimonti ZL1BG, and the Branch 29 Committee
Synopsis:	We often take for granted the readily available power for base station operations in our shacks. What if we lose power? What then? Or better yet, what if we wanted to participate in some of the outdoor operating schemes such as POTA, SOTA, ZLFF and others? How do we ensure we can operate away from mains power? This workshop will explore the three main power options available for off-grid radio communications. It will cover design considerations, the bare minimums and the optional extras. We will also demonstrate some of the options available with our own equipment to give you an idea of what can be done. Perhaps it will inspire you to come up with your own portable power solutions. If you have built a portable power solution previously then bring it along and share your design, ideas, and knowledge with the wider community. Further detail in the Papakura Amateur Radio Club Newsletter, below.
