5W1SA first licensed May 1998, one month after I arrived to the paradise of Samoa. While living on the Island,
it is not easy expand radio system but for the last 15 years, some improvement and some went to junk.

Second Class JA License (Callsign expired long time ago) and New Zealand General License (ZL1EA) Holder.
5W1SA/QRP
I was on QRP following date/time
20/Mar/2013 0458z to 0530z FT817/Li-ion/10m Long Wire + Z11
22/Mar/2013 0445z to 0550z FT817/Li-ion/10m Long Wire + z11

Occasional QRP operation from Malololelei, top of the Upolu Island.
FT-817 with 4 series connected Li-ion batteries that produce 5W (Five Watts) output.
I maybe operate short time due to a lot of QRM of Mosquitos.
White long tube (home brew battery holer) is the power source of 18650 Li-ion batteries.
