  • 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. . . .

    This was a casual operation just to see if the FT817 and "JOEY" antenna would work with five watts from my back yard in Oceanside, Ca surrounded by hills. My first contact was on 15 meters cw with W4VIY in northern Florida. Proof of concept succeeded. Read More
