For those of you who play Rover in contests, or enjoy portable operation
in "exotic" grid squares AND who are also Costco members, there is a
Coleman 100 W Solar Panel With 8.5 AMP Charge Controller on sale at a
$40 discount == $119.00 at Costco.com only.
The sale runs through August 31.
For me it was $125 with Colo tax and free shipping from NY to Colo.

It is 2x the power and 1/2 the weight of the Harbor Freight set of
panels I've been using in my Rover outings for the last 5 years.
I will probably swap out the charge controller for some other
selection -- eventually.
Just thought I'd pass out a Heads Up.
