Using aluminum window screen as counterpoise for portable antennas.


 

Are you tired of laying out radial systems for your portable ham radio operations?

If you are, please consider using aluminum window screens as a simple, inexpensive alternative.

In this video, Dave Casler (KE0OG) discusses the window screen counterpoise system, based on several videos produced by Michael Martens (KB9VBR).

This counterpoise idea works very well.
