  Radio amateurs have a wide selection of antennas for portable operations. In this video, Walt (K4OGO) discusses some of the popular choices for portable operations, including the end-fed halfwave, inverted vee, half square, inverted L, and various vertical antenna designs. Based on his extensive "field" operations, Walt favors the basic EFHW because of its simplicity, ease of operation, and cost.
