Topband: Remote pre-amp power source

[k1fz at myfairpoint.net]

Hi Don,

Pre-amp requires 12-18 volts at 130ma. (low band DXing- nightime use)

This  solar charger puts out 20 volts that could be reduced to 15 
volts with a three legged regulator.  I was hoping to find a 
pre-assembled charger & battery, but may have to build one.

       What is the operating current and voltage of the preamp you plan 
to use?  Since it sounds like the preamp will be powered on all the 
time this information will be key in the selection of the battery 
capacity and solar panel rating.

solar cell charger, to power a remote antenna pre-amp ?
