自带太阳能的野外通联真滴feel倍爽！风景真是美得不要不要的！

This day finds me out operating HF portable from the top of a high butte overlooking the Red Deer river valley badlands of southeastern Alberta.

“这一天，我携带短波便携式设备登上孤峰之上通联，俯瞰阿尔伯塔省东南部的马鹿河流域荒地。

I am not the first person to set up camp on this butte, as I was set up beside a tipi ring, signifying the fact that first nations people had been using this spot for setting up their tipi’s for many years past.

我不是在这座孤峰搭建起营地的第一人，在我的“帐篷”旁边就地上就早已安装了一个帐篷环，这表示着我们国家有人在这捷足先登这一事实。

If you expand the photo and look at my vertical antenna with its guy-lines, you can visualize a tipi sitting in this spot, chosen for its commanding views in all directions over the grasslands.

如果你放大照片，看看我的垂直天线的阵子，你可以想象一个“帐篷”立在这个地方，就像一个指挥官在任何方向环顾着这片美丽的草原。

The owner of the ranch who’s land this butte is located on, was telling me that back in the 1800’s, the Hudson’s Bay company had established a fur trading fort on the banks of the Red Deer river, the location of this fort only several kilometers from my location on this butte.

在孤峰农场的主人告诉我，早在19世纪，哈得孙湾公司就在马鹿河堡的位置已经建立了一个皮毛交易市场，该市场到离我在这个孤峰的位置只有几公里远。

Of course you know that I don't go anywhere without my cameras, and its a given that whatever my plans for the day are, photography plays a part of it.

当然，我知道我去哪都要带上我的相机，不管我一天的计划是什么，摄影都在其中起到了很重要的作用。

For me photography is not only about documenting my goings on, but also is about communicating an emotion. Taking it one step further, one of the most important aspects of being able to communicate an emotion through a photograph is the proper use of light. While there are certainly many other aspects of photography, the one common requirement needed for all photographs is light, and if the light is wrong, the photograph fails!
摄影对我来说不仅是记录我的举动，也是一种情感交流。更进一步来讲，最重要的一个方面是通过一张照片能够通过光的正确使用传达一种情感。虽然有很多其他方面的摄影，但是拍摄所有照片所需的一个常见要求都是光，如果光线是错误的，那照片就失败了!

Those were some of the thoughts coursing through my mind upon arriving at my destination located on the ranch owned by my friend Doug, where I got set up to operate some HF from the top of a butte overlooking a stunning landscape that included vistas I planned on capturing images of when there were lulls in the action on the bands. However conditions were good on both 17 meters and 40 meters over the course of the time that I spent operating the HF bands on this day.

在我去往这片目的地，这片农场的主人我的朋友道格那里，我的脑子里里慢慢的都是对此次通联的思考，包括计划在通联不忙的时候捕捉到一些好的镜头。如果在17米和40米通联条件好的时候，我还是会在花这一天的时间在HF频段上操作。

Besides operating my Yaesu FT-897D on HF with my 10-60 meter vertical antenna, the antenna that I designed and built and I will be writing a construction article on, I was also running tests on my portable solar panel setup, having acquired an additional solar panel recently, that I re-wired allowing the panels to be daisy-chained together as seen in the various photos included here.

除了操作我的八重洲ft - 897 d和我60米垂直HF天线，我将继续写一篇关于天线的的设计和制造的文章，最近，我获得一个额外的太阳能电池板并在进行测试，所以也拍了不少照片。

My power source for the Yaesu FT-897D is my 12 volt power can with the batteries being maintained by the two solar panels.

给我的Yaesu FT-897D 提供12V供电的就是两块太阳能板。

The charge is being controlled by the charge controller inserted between the solar panels and the power can batteries.

在太阳能板和充电电池之间是充电控制器。

The solar panel on the left is a 40 watt 2.4Ah unit, and the solar panel on the right is a 20 watt 1.2Ah unit.

左边这块板提供2.3A 40W电能，右边的板提供1.2A 20W的电能。

Together, their combined 60 watt output to the 7Ah charge controller is 3.6 amps of charge output that keeps the batteries in the power can charged and my FT-897D transmitting with a full 100 watts when required.

两块太阳能板合在一起可以输出60W的功率输出到7A的充电控制器当中产生3.6安培的充电输出电流能够保持充电电池能满足FT-897D满功率100W的发射时的需求。

 

Also due to the fact that my FT-897D has the optional Yaesu internal battery packs installed in the battery tray located in the bottom of the transceiver, and with the output of the 12 volt battery charger connected  to the back of the transceiver, the batteries in the battery tray can be charged by having the input of the 12 volt charger connected to the power can, while at the same time the batteries in the power can are being maintained by the solar panels/charge controller.

也因为我的ft - 897 d有可选的八重洲安装在电池托盘底部的内部电池，所以12伏特电池充电器可以连接到电台的后面，托盘内可充电电池可以通过输入12伏特的充电器连接到电源，同时电池的电力可由太阳能电池板/充电控制器来维持。

The solar panels were carefully chosen to have the necessary capacity to maintain the batteries of the power can, as well as the internal batteries of the transceiver while operating on HF.

太阳能电池板可以维持内部电池的电力给HF通联提供源源不断的电力保障。

All in all, the day was a success, with many contacts placed in the log, tests run on my solar panels proving successful, and of course it goes without saying, many photographs shot through the course of the day while visiting the grasslands of southeastern Alberta.

总而言之，这一天是一个成功，日志上又多了很多联系人。太阳能电池板的测试运行也是成功的，当然不用说，在拜访阿尔伯塔省东南部的草原这一天里，美景都记录在了快门中。
