[qrp-canada] 1. Re: 6.5W Solar Panels on Sale (Michael Babineau)

[rattray]

I had a look at these panels at Canadian Tire today and am in the stage of
deciding that is titled "Do I really need one of these?"  :-))  - I have a
15 watt panel all set up and charging batteries in my shack through a charge
controller - so while I'm thinking about purchasing a 6.5 w panel I did buy
a Cdn Tire charge controller for $30.00 ($29 & change) - it's all together,
ready to hook up and work - it'll handle 7A - my Micro M+ controller which I
purchased a few years ago, will handle 4A and cost $34.00 US ($39.00
assembled) and works great - but it is nice to be able to buy the Cdn Tire
one at a slightly lower price, with no exchange and no "coming across the
Border worry" - I see the Cdn Tire controller is suppose to cut out at 14.2
volts - 72 Bruce.

Perhaps I missed it somewhere but in you note Michael,
I do see where these panels are on sale.  Sounds like a 
neat item to have.
