Comments on: Re-inventing the headlamp… the Hat-lamp http://stuartl.longlandclan.yi.org/blog/2007/09/05/hatlamp/ The life and times of Stuart Longland (VK4MSL) Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:32:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Redhatter (VK4MSL) http://stuartl.longlandclan.yi.org/blog/2007/09/05/hatlamp/comment-page-1/#comment-1701 Redhatter (VK4MSL) Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:52:06 +0000 http://stuartl.longlandclan.hopto.org/blog/2007/09/05/hatlamp/#comment-1701 Heh, well... you could easily go overboard with this idea. ;-) I've considered the possibility of wiring a small momentary switch for the high-beam, purely for the purpose of signalling CW via light -- but I'm too lazy at the moment. I've put a small SMA antenna mount on, which allows me to mount the homebrew whip up high and hook it up with some coax. That's about the last change I'll make... Other worthy ideas include some sort of extractor fan, and/or solar panels, but the issue of size stops both these ideas. Heh, well… you could easily go overboard with this idea. ;-)
