  • Peter, AD6TN built this Human Powered Battery Charger. Tim, WD6AWP, urges him on to see that voltage is high enough to charge the battery pack. Get a good cardio-vascular workout, and generate power at the same time! We weren't able to calculate how many VPG (volts per Gatoraide) but it was an interesting source of power. . . .

    The camping trip was great. The contest? Eh, didn't make near enough contacts. Had to shut down a couple of times ... Read More
