Image
  In this video, Michael Martens (KB9VBR) takes his QRP gear and antennas to the shores of Wisconsin's Lake Superior. Amids this beutiful park land, Michael tests the performance of a vertical and end-fed antenna system.  Thanks to the nearby shore of this immense fresh water lake, both antennas perform well with several excellent contacts.

Here are some notes from Michael (KB9VBR): Who needs the ocean when you have access to the world's largest inland body of fresh water. We head up to Lake Superior and put two parks on the air: POTA US-1439 Big Bay State Park, and US-4244 Big Bay Sand Spit and Bog. It's a Fresh Coast QRP Adventure!
