I would think it would be somewhat sunny at some of the times after a storm like this. One solar panel could run a nice transceiver during sunlight and if you were not doing tons of transmitting it could charge a batt. If you are going to invest in a rig and antenna, why not a solar panel?

From what I'm hearing, the major issue is power, or the lack thereof. Existing supplies of fuel for generators, etc. are in extremely short supply. I've been hearing estimates of 6+ months to restore power, and that may be optimistic. bp On 9/24/2017 9:07 AM,
