I just had my first CW contact with someone in Australia from BC - using a 10W radio. It's great fun!

Cold is fine - solar panels perform better the lower the temperature. That's what makes Calgary ideal for solar.

I just need to know what happens to our 9am standups in Vancouver when the other team is in SF. If I'm doing the math correctly it moves to 10am. Also, I've often picked a random city in Pacific time when setting timezones on host

After watching Disclosure Day with my kids, we had an interesting conversation on the way home - what would it take for you to believe that aliens are real and visting Earth? With the advancement of image and video generation, I think I&#

I 100% agree with having inspections if you're grid tied. You don't want your system energizing the neighbourhood when the power goes out!

It's fairly easy and there are a lot of forums around with knowledgeable people. My main issue was ensuring wire gauges were correct. One's intuition about dealing with house wiring @15A changes when you're dealing with 50A c

The "Sunshine" Coast of BC. Right now we're limited by the charging capacity of the inverter/charger. It can only do 50A in from an external solar controller. In hindsight I should have gone with a 48V inverter/char

I just upgraded the solar system at my family's off-grid cabin. It's incredible how much battery technology has improved over the last 10 years. Everyone is getting tired of me checking the panel to see how many watts we're b

My Polish coworkers say that's due to the senior citizens stuck in a Soviet occupation mindset, and they're doing things like burning plastic trash to heat their homes. I really enjoyed Warsaw in December, the air seemed fine to m
