Hey Corey (et al), good news ¡ª the sewer issue has been resolved thanks to a plumber that could come out on Sunday, so I¡¯m good to do the hike tomorrow morning.

Thanks again to Corey, and Mark. It's all up and running now, after a few misadventures. The main thing was just getting the settings right in Remmina, the Linux RDP software I'm using. Rather than

Hey Mark, you also have my sympathies, sewer lines are a bummer on so many levels, messy and expensive.
I will still go out and do an activation, maybe mountain bike portable VHF from North Table.

Hi all, ?FYI I¡¯ve decided not to do the SOTA activation on Monday as a number of things came up, including a backed up sewer line.
I¡¯m going to reschedule for another date in the near future if

Hi Corey,
That could probably work if we do a summit close to the front range. I¡¯m thinking about doing Mt Herman which is easy to get to, right by Monument (about 45 mins from where I live, which

Hi all,
I have next Monday, June 19th off (Juneteenth holiday) and, weather permitting, I'm planning on doing a SOTA activation somewhere within an hour or so of the front range. Nothing too crazy as

Corey, thanks for the Spartan suggestion. I'll check out Mike's review - I watch a lot of his stuff. I'm a little put off by their inclusion of at best 18ga wire with the "100A" unit, so I wonder what

Awesome projects guys. I'd like to build a similar one myself; i've got pretty much everything I need other than the nifty circuit breaker / display / etc.

Boy, did I mess up! It should've been obvious to me from seeing only 2 terminals on the V/A meter w/ USB port, that it couldn't be measuring the current draw for the whole system. I was just thinking

Sounds good. I'll take a look. Most of my monitors have VESA mounts as I recall. I'll give you a ring tomorrow to figure out when/where to meet up.

Thanks for the offer on the foam - I have a collection myself. :)

Took me long enough, but I'm finally (almost) finished with this battery box. It's a little simpler than the ones Powerwerx sells, but I wanted fewer features, and to wire it a little differently
