New power panel for the Campbell Mountain repeater site.

At the February meeting, Bruce Morgenstern demonstrated the functionality of the new power panel that he has graciously constructed for our Campbell Mountain repeater site. This panel is slated for installation at the site this upcoming spring. The design of the new panel facilitates improved power distribution, accommodates new batteries, and is prepared to support the integration of solar panels when the club decide to proceed with their installation.
