This is post 2191 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. Here are some helpful ARRL Field Day Antenna suggestions from Rob ("SevenFortyOne"). Even if you're forced by the COVID-19 pandemic to operate by yourself, you'll find Rob's ideas useful and effective whether you stay at home or find an isolated spot in the "field." Here are some of Rob's comments: "This portable Ham Radio antenna is something I put together from spare materials I had lying around the house one afternoon. It's a 40 meter inverted V made from a cheap WalMart cutting board, some left over 14 gauge wire, a 12 foot telescoping painter's pole, some scrap PVC trim board, and a few scrap pieces of re-bar. I plan to make some changes as time permits. A link to the revised version: https://youtu.be/fg52EAX5Y5I
