Bright sunny morning here in Rome. I was talking to Nigel, M0NDE, on Echolink and he mentioned his efforts to keep his new shack completely "off the grid." That got us talking about the video I posted yesterday (scroll down) about making solar panels from donuts and tea, and the next thing you know, I'm connecting my Volkswagen solar panels (see above) to my QRSS beacon. No longer will my 50 milliwatt transmitter be contributing to the destruction of the planet! I feel better already.
