Simple Ham Radio Antennas

Here's part two of a 2015 Field Day video by "Survivalist2008." He spent the day near Summerfield, North Carolina operating as 1B Battery NC.  His equipment was pretty basic, but highly effective, considering what he brought with him.  The rig was the dependable ICOM-706MKIIG.  He used a LDG antenna tuner to tame the SWR on an inverted V dipole antenna with the apex only 20-feet/6.09 meters above ground.  His power supply was a 750 MCA deep cycle marine battery.  He had lots of fun, and I hope you enjoyed your field day station.  For the latest Amateur Radio news and events, please check out the blog sidebars.  These news feeds are updated daily.  You can follow our blog community with a free e-mail subscription or by tapping into the blog RSS feed.  Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM).
