This Solar Generator SHOCKED Me — 4 Hours of Ham Radio Power! 🔋☀️
This is one of the coolest pieces of gear I’ve tested in a long time. The PowerFilm LightSaver Max is more than just a solar panel — it’s a solar generator in a roll-up tube that can charge itself, power your rig, and fit inside your backpack.
In this video, I put it through a real-world torture test: running my Icom IC-705 on 10 watts FT8 for over 4 hours straight. No wall power, no gas — just pure sunlight stored in this portable battery.
Whether you’re into POTA, emergency comms, or off-grid ops, this setup proves solar QRP can be both simple and reliable.

In this video, I take apart a popular open-source Z-Match antenna tuner and explain exactly how it works — and why it’s different from Pi-network and T-network tuners.
We crack it open, look at the transformer-coupled coils, the dual variable capacitors, the impedance switch, and even the mysterious resistor load inside. Then we put it on the air and tune a 9 foot 4" antenna on 80m and 17m using both noise-tuning and carrier-based tuning methods.
You’ll also see how the “tune mode” works, why those 68-ohm resistors aren’t a 50-ohm dummy load, and how to use the Z-Match safely at QRP power levels.
