Pedestrian mobile HF antenna

Back


A look at a hand-carried antenna for pedestrian mobile operation between 7 and 28 MHz. It is similar to the commercially-available 'Miracle Whip'. Efficiency is low but solid interstate SSB contacts (up to about 1000km) can still be made on 7 MHz. Efficiency is better on 14 MHz with the best DX to date being Antarctica. A beachside location is an advantage. Construction details at http://home.alphalink.com.au/~parkerp/
