* ARRL Emergency Power for Radio Communications book now available: When
all else fails, how will you power your communication equipment? The ARRL's new
Emergency Power for Radio Communications by Michael Bryce, WB8VGE, can provide
the answer, with information on emergency or back-up power, energy independence,
portable power and more. Emergency Power for Radio Communications explores the
various means of electric power generation and shows you how to plan ahead to
stay on the air when weather or other circumstances knock out conventional
power--short-term or longer. It also examines how to go "off the grid" by
employing alternative power-generation methods such as solar, wind and water
power. There's a selection of emergency power projects and information from the
pages of QST too. Emergency Power for Radio Communications is $19.95 plus
shipping and handling. Order from the ARRL on-line catalog Emergency Power for Radio Communications or call toll-free 888-277-5289.
