Local Emergency Communications with NVIS
If you're looking for a simple, efficient, and inexpensive emergency communications HF antenna, please consider the basic dipole erected about 18th wavelength above ground. This NVIS (near vertical incidence skywave) antenna provides excellent coverage of up to 650 km or 400 miles-perfect for local and regional HF communications. In this video, Gaston (KT1RUN) builds a 40m/80m dipole that provides good local and state coverage at a cost of about $20.00.

Here are a few comments from Gaston (KT1RUN): In this video, we'll take a look at building a simple 40m and 80m dipole for $20 dollars. Then, we'll deploy it in an NVIS (Near Vertical Incidence Skywave) configuration for local and regional communications. If you're new to the channel, welcome! I'm "The Tech Prepper&
