| For what it's worth: 
I have been using a 7AH alarm battery charged by a 5 watt solar panel for the 
past couple of weeks.  I have a small charge regulator connected between the 
solar panel and the battery. It provides 12v output termnals to the xcvr. 
Running a  K2 at 4 watts - making quite a few contacts. No doubt Ten Tec rigs 
running qrp would be great for this set up also.
May try to beef up the solar power/battery and run my Orion  emergency power 
one day Hmm..........
