W0LED-10 I Hate Windows Update

It has been a considerable while but Windows Update bit me the other day. I thought I had this figured out but I must have missed something. Oh well.
On another note, my gateway (except for the PC) has been running off a solar-charged battery system for about four months now. I still have to get the PC on 13.8 VDC power. I have a 12-24 volt to 19 volt converter sitting here. I just need to get off my butt and do it.

It's good to see the snow melting off the 100-watt solar panel that keeps my gateway battery supply charged. We have only had a couple significant snowfalls this season. The panel seems to do just fine clearing itself of any accumulating snow. That's good because access to the solar panel is problematic.

W0LED-10 Gateway System Update

After a lapse of a few weeks I have tackled all but one of the technical issues that collectively brought W0LED-10 to it's knees.
On the plus side, before the "Big Heat" came to Minnesota, I finally installed a 100 watt solar panel to my 100 A-H battery backup system.
Unlike the gateway itself my power system has been up constantly for 45 days. 45 days ago I installed the solar panel and reset the Epic PWRgate. Prior to the reset the power system had been up for over 90 days.
The VHF transceiver and TNC have been operational for over two years!
