"When all else fails, how will you power your communication equipment?" asks the ARRL.

A new book "Emergency Power for Radio Communications" by Michael Bryce, WB8VGE, can provide the answer, says the League, with information on emergency or back-up power, energy independence, portable power and more.

The author is former QRP editor of "73 Amateur Radio Today" magazine and has written extensively on power issues in both mainstream amateur radio and QRP-specific publications.

According to the ARRL, "Emergency Power for Radio Communications" explores the various means of electric power generation and shows you how to plan ahead to stay on the air when weather or other circumstances knock out conventional power - short-term or longer.

It also examines how to go "off the grid" by employing alternative power-generation methods such as solar, wind and water power.

There's a selection of emergency power projects and information from the pages of QST too.

"Emergency Power for Radio Communications" is $19.95 plus shipping and handling. Order from the ARRL on-line catalog visit:
