George has done at least a half dozen activations of remote islands with old friend from HA, several times sailing his own boat, almost always with innovative engineering. RIB is yet another. A decade or so ago, George used only DC-powered amplifiers run from batteries float-charged from, small Honda generators running in economode. This great reduced the quantity of petrol that had to be transported to the island.

This is really the important thing.. it gets to the "advancing the state of the art" part of amateur radio and being more holistic in the system engineering aspect.
