>> I keep my emergency radios pack for EMP event. Does not take much to protect your equipment <<

Well, yeah, “protection” is OK. But where are you gonna get juice to recharge your batteries?

And where are you gonna get enough power to run you KW MF rig?

In other words, it ain’t necessarily gonna be all that easy

I am setting up deployable Solar Panel solution. I figure if something does happen, their will be gas shortages. Solar Panel can recharge batteries.

I have low power requirements, I am only running a QRP rig (5 watts) and a 45 watt amp when needed.

My station consist of a low power laptop, Flex 1500, 2 meter transverter and a Tokyo Hy-Power 45b. Thinking a 180 watt panel with a 80 amp hour battery might be plenty.
