Simple Ham Radio Antennas--3 minute portable HF vertical antenna. Post #714.
If you're having trouble viewing this video, please insert this title link into your browser search box: https://youtu.be/RIvW9f--JOI. Here's an interesting challenge from Peter Parker (VK3YE). Can you unpack and set up a portable vertical antenna in 3 minutes or less? The key to this solution is having a telescoping 9 meter mast, 10 meters of wire, a decent ground radial or counterpoise system, and a L-match antenna coupler (tuner). This quick set-up antenna would be perfect for portable or emergency operations. Lots of good ideas here! For the latest Amateur Radio news and events, please check out the blog sidebars.
