Hi,
As you may know, we'll have a blimp for Field Day. We're planning to try to put a small video transmitter on it, but need a power source. Batteries that would handle the load over time are two heavy, so we're looking for a small, lightweight, flexible solar panel. It needs to put out about half an amp anywhere between 8 and 24 volts (it will be regulated). Voltages closer to 8 are preferred because they generate less heat in the regulator.
If you have a panel that you lend us for the weekend, please email me at rod@sbatv.org.
Thanks, Rod, WB9KMO
