It looks like this solar panel has been replace by a 110 watt version for the same price. In this video I look at how this will work to charge my Lithium battery box and if it makes any noise on the HF bands.

This is the introduction to a multi-part series about portable Morse code paddles. In this series I will feature various paddles used for Summits on the Air or other portable radio activities. Each person has their own CW paddle preferences. I acknowledge that some of the features that are important to me, may not be as important to others. Still, I think as I discuss each of the paddles I feature, I think it will give you an idea of whether or not the paddle is one you would choose for your portable paddle.
