Antennas

Portable antennas for reliable field success

Discover antenna types that work well in parks, including wire, vertical, and multi-band options for portable operations.

NVIS
Watch the Sun: Usable frequencies change based on the local ionosphere (the Critical Frequency). During the day, 40 meters usually behaves like an NVIS band, while 80 meters is better at night.
HF antennas

Use lightweight wire antennas with trees or poles for 20m and 40m operation.

VHF/UHF antennas

Portable verticals and improved handheld antennas boost local band coverage.

Quick deploy

Aim for simple setups that can be assembled and packed quickly.
