[RFI] Uh oh, portable solar generators

[Dave (NK7Z)]

Hi Dave (K1TTT),

Thanks for the info...  I ask because I find myself in the possession of 
a system like that.  I have been considering setting it up for testing, 
and possible use.  I'll set it up, test, and post results in a month or 
so...  THANKS!

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
