Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  Thanks to Jim (N4BFR) for this excellent guide to selecting the best antennas for your next POTA (Parks on the Air) operation. In this video, we learn how to adapt our antenna systems to the environments we will meet on our next expedition, be they forest, desert, seaside, or treeless locales.

Here are some comments from Jim (N4BFR): Getting started with Parks on the Air (POTA) or struggling with challenging park terrain? This video breaks down the best POTA antenna options for activations with and without trees — from wire antennas to verticals and mobile setups. Professor Jim (N4BFR) explains how to choose the right antenna based on terrain, footprint, power, and operating style, plus the one tool every POTA activator should carry to get the most out of their setup.
