Fire Season in Sonoma County

Posted on by k6eta

Here are a few photos of my portable station (with the KK6HQT trailer in the background) when we set up a secondary Sonoma Op Area EOC above Sonoma Raceway during the Kincade fires.

12V Monitor with a Raspberry Pi velcro’d to the back. Just plug in one Anderson Powerpole and you have a full-blown computer with Winlink, FLDigi, WSJTX, JS8CALL CQRLog and BPQ with VHF and HF node stack.
Solar power is over as the sun goes down… that’s why we have big batteries! Actually 3 days and nights worth! If the sun is shining we can operate indefinitely.
