[Andy ZL3AG]

Quite a few of the hams at Branch 05 have campervans and pretty sure there's a bus parked in that new garage out front with deep cycle batteries for aux power.

So if you cruise up to the clubrooms on any Tuesday night (when they have their free-for-all tech sessions) there will probably be someone there who can tell you exactly what you need to know.
