  A year and half ago I got my HAM radio license. Here in Canada, I have what’s called Basic+. Basically means I am legally allowed to use all the available bands HF/VHF. I have a Yaesu multiband radio and have it hooked up to a battery jumper charger using a multi band antenna.

  I also have a handheld CB radio that can use AA battery packs (I also have it plugged into the battery charger on the cigarette lighter plug).

  Adding to that, I got a USB charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter from the dollar store for charging phones and the like.

  The only thing I haven’t got yet is a 75 watt inverter for the cigarette lighter for charging larger items like my netbook or my eton emergency radio, though Damian doesn’t really like them

  This is my emergency communciations centre and it sits on a plywood shelf above the freezer in the basement. It’s always ready to go for pleasure or emergencies

  Just saying, for funnzies

    Sounds like you’ve got a good setup started there. The only thing I see is that the inverter sounds way too small at 75 watts. I have a simple 400 watt for small things and it works fine but I’m going to upgrade very soon to a larger one such as this: “duracell 813-0807 800 watt dc to ac digital inverter”. Not too expensive and should be able to run my fridge from the car hookup too.

  I had to get out the LDS manual this morning for a few of these questions. Thanks, I do have fun with them.
