Vertical Antenna Setup Step By Step.
An excellent tutorial on how to setup a HF vertical antenna in field conditions.
According to Michael Martens (KB9VBR), the task is fairly simple if you use Wolf River Coils and a window screen ground plane.

Here are a few comments from Michael (KB9VBR):
We go 'Back to Basics' with the vertical antenna. I take you through the parts and setup of the Wolf River Coil Vertical Antenna System and show it in use at Cross Plains State Park, WI (POTA K-1448).

I do return QSL, if you made a contact with me and would like a QSL, please send me one. Return postage not necessary, but always appreciated. As they say, KB9VBR is 'good in the book.'
