Nov 21, 2005 -- 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 or call toll-free 888-277-5289.
