Man Portable HF Antenna Strategy Off Grid Ham Radio
A Portable Ham Radio HF antenna should be lightweight, easy to carry and easy to deploy. Operating QRP while man-portable requires a portable HF antenna to reach an even higher level of ultra-portability and efficiency. When we enter the emergency communications and survival radio space, we simply can't waste our output power on an inefficient broadband antenna. Broadband antennas have their place, but I am changing my antenna strategy. This is my new man-portable HF antenna strategy. Let me know what you think.
