Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  Many radio amateurs enjoy Parks On the Air and Summits On the Air (OTA/SOTA) operations.  These field operations allow you to practice emergency communications procedures without running into deed restrictions or nosey neighbors. There are many antenna choices available for POTA/SOTA operations. In this video from "HAM-DALORIAN", we see an actual POTA station set up, including rig, antenna, and accessories needed for the activity.    The star attraction in this operation is the excellent TN07-SPF-102 portable antenna system.  The antenna is easy to assemble and deploy.  The results are quite good, considering its limited size. The antenna will find a welcome home for hams living on small urban lots or faced with HOA restrictions.

However, every time I use it, I have to be quite careful not to break any of the joints to traps or get the traps snagged in trees etc. Consequently, I’ve...
