Ham Radio Camper Caravan | Part 1
The Ham Radio Camper Caravan Trailer is finally here. In this video we install some solar panels, drill and install some power cables for our solar panels, test a telescopic mast with 80 meter off center fed dipole, ran some winlink and FT8 sessions, before discussing the future of this portable ham radio project.

      @@OH8STN Starlink just came out with the mini or like you would say the man portable satellite, so I'm trying to figure out what I would need as far as solar/ charge controller and batteries, to keep me topped off, I'm also considering an ebike and being able to charge on the go. Not sure if you did a set up video or blog post on the boost controller.

  • @pascalcoole2725
    @pascalcoole2725 5 дней назад

    I'm sorry, but this experiment is not verry well done nore verry wel documented. Just trowing equipment on the floor is not how you install a solar setup. Also you did not specifiy the antenna setup and how it is located in relation to the solar system. I'm running the same MPPT 87/15 and a single victron solar panel. Although at home, my antenna for 40M is a vertical mobile whip. No problems here. However I do have lot of interference from the system on the roof of my appartement.

  • @schoocg
    @schoocg 6 дней назад

    I have been testing portable charge controllers for Ham radio for many years and followed your advice. I went through maybe 4-5 controllers and they were from bad to insanely bad. Then couple years back took your advice on Genasun. Wow! Game changer MPPT. All I get is insignificant RF on 10m. I never tested 6m or 160m. But from testing if 80m not an issue nor will 160m. I did have a Buddipole Mini solar controller that finally died. Nice but expensive unit. Limitations were it’s not MPPT and it’s max solar line voltage and current are very limited to 150w panel and below. But still great concept and works well especially for 100w and less. . But Genasun is less expensive and far more robust and efficient too. Always great content you do. Thank you !

And also, there just couldnt be one or more back door shut down command(s) imbedded? Well, you're preppers, I'm just asking some sane questions here.....and $800 to $900 for this? I think I'll just rebuild some Gonset with solidstate tube replacements wanna bet who survives?

    From my expierence owning a Large Pop-Up Camper, I actually found it easier to make some entry points Underneath the camper. It helped preserve the integrity on the camper's sheet metal skin, and when camping in rainy weather, those entry points were very protected from the weather! When traveling, the "under carriage" of the camper rarely had problems.

  • @ryanmigliori9142
    @ryanmigliori9142 12 дней назад

    I would have just drilled a 2 inch hole and used a plastic PVC pipe with flex seal. I know it's a big hole. But that way you can easily put the coax through and coax does go bad.rhats why I do that

    • @OH8STN
      @OH8STN 12 дней назад

      That's one way for sure. The ingress protection was most important. Used aircell 7 which has been on the tower for 23 years without going bad. The coax can slide, when theblick rings are loosened. This makes it possible to swap out the coax, by removing the connector and pulling it through.

  • @oherrala
    @oherrala 14 дней назад

    I might run a bead of adhesive to the edge of the solar panels to really glue it into the roof so when driving it doesn't catch air under it, start flapping and tearing itself apart.

    You helped me make a decision on going for this G90 rig for HF go kit radio. I did add a pair of 25W solar panels to my planned self aligning charging rig just to make sure I have enough juice coming in. I'll be looking at antenna options....I can now see a compound bow as part of the antenna rig for HF. To set a vertical antenna up on a tree. 😂Thank you!!!
