An SO-239 chassis connector with coat hanger radiating element and ground radials soldered as shown. Run what you brung.Ībove: I needed a quickie quarter-wave ground plane antenna cut for the UHF bands. Learn, Practice, Evaluate, Experiment, Communicate!įield expedient antenna wire end insulator – You get the idea. Start there if you are new to this stuff! Read it a few hundred times. The designs are based upon solid engineering but backed up by solid measurements and practical, proven performance in a real environment. Full of tried and proven antennas for a range of frequencies of interest from LF, HF, VHF, UHF and beyond. The standard reference for military and civilian use is the ARRL Antenna Book. The expedient part is based upon availability of materials but you have to start with a good design. “If it’s stupid – but works – it isn’t stupid”Ī good field expedient antenna must first start with a good antenna design or at least you should be willing to accept potentially marginal performance.
Thank you, N6CC for sharing these Antenna setups! This article was originally posted over at (Navy 6 Combat Comms) including photo credit ( Tim Sammons). We spotted this amazing article by N6CC and it is PACKED full of creative antenna ideas you can glean from.
