[CRAPRS] Not much solar for NQ0V

[gary.bishop at mchsi.com]

I've been gone a week, and saw that by Thursday, my Marion digi had died.
I thought that was unusual, because it has been running smoothly for quite
some time.  After I got home, I found the gel cell completely dead.  Hmmm...
I would have thought we had at least A LITTLE sunshine while I was gone.
Even on cloudy days, I can get many milliamperes.  From afar, I thought,
perhaps, the solar cell quit, or was knocked over by some freak March
wind gust, or the gel cell developed an internal problem, or wayward eagle's 
nest, squirrels chewing the wire, or...

Lo and behold, when I was messing with the panel last weekend, I forgot to
plug it back into the battery.  Alas, all that free solar energy gone to
waste.  

Not that 'Marion's only solar powered digi' is a key link to the local APRS
traffic, but it does serve a purpose.  I learned a lesson on this one.
