This is post #923 in a continuing series on Simple Ham Radio Antennas. Interesting antenna test video from "VideosByDFP."  This field test involved the following antennas: Alpha Loop, Sr; Alpha vertical; Alpha Modo; and the Alpha EZ Military.  Rigs used in the test included the Icom IC-720D with the LDG-IT-100 Autotuner and the Yaesu FT-857D with the LDG YT-100 Autotuner.  The antenna tests were conducted between 15 October and 18 October 2015 in the upper Mojave Desert, about 120 miles/189 km north of Los Angeles, California.  Intriguing video that may give you some ideas about your next portable/emergency antenna.
