    WB4SON-10 Changeover Complete

    I finally had enough downtime to move my WB4SON-10 Winlink Gateway over to
    its full-time hardware:

    Alinco DR-135T Mk-III
    Samlex SEC-1223BBM Power Supply with battery changeover
    100 AH Solar Charged battery
    ACEPC AK2 miniPC
    Masters Communication DRA-50 interface with Alinco 6-pin adapter


    Power measurements of the entire system indicates it pulls 22 watts from
    the AC mains.  Of course that load is on 24/7, and that works out to about
    $3 a month in electricity.
