POTA activation highlights new ARRL momobeam antenna.
The American Radio Relay League (The ARRL) is now marketing a new POTA (Parks On the Air) dual-band antenna covering the 10m and 6m Amateur Radio Bands. This antenna is portable, easy-to-set up, and does well in the enhanced propagation given by the solar maximum of cycle 25. In this video, ARRL staffers Steve (K5ATA) and Alex (KC1RMO), assemble, test, and operate this fascinating antenna, which combines a 10 meter Moxon antenna with a 2-element Yagi for 6 meters. So far, the antenna is only available in the U.S. For more information, please contact The ARRL. Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM). Here are some comments from Steve (K5ATA) and Alex (KC1RMO): It was a sunny day with perfect weather – we couldn’t help but take the new ARRL Momobeam Antenna outside for a Parks on The Air® activation as W1AW. Steve, K5ATA, is an experienced POTA activator, and he shows Alex, KC1RMO, the ropes on a beautiful day. See how easy it is to setup the antenna, get on the air,
