    On the Air LIVE

    Join ARRL's Education Specialist Wayne Greene, KB4DSF, as he compares the
    most popular portable antennas, including the ubiquitous end-fed half-wave, random wire, linked dipole, and the 17-foot vertical. We will compare performance and packing tradeoffs and deployment requirements.

    Whether you are headed to a park, going on a hike, paddling a canoe, or just your backyard, this session will help you choose an antenna that fits the operating conditions.

    New ARRL Release

    [https://home.arrl.org/action/Store/Product-Details/productId/2094335552]


    Salty Walt's Next Level Portable Antenna Sketchbook [ https://home.arrl.org/action/Store/Product-Details/productId/2094335552 ] expands on the easygoing, field-tested style that made his first book a favorite among radio amateurs.

    Where Salty Walt's Portable Antenna Sketchbook [ https://home.arrl.org/action/Store/Product-Details/productId/2026924035 ] focused on beachside builds and creative wire antennas, the new volume
    ventures into even more concepts while keeping the designs approachable.

    Readers will still find practical, deployable antennas designed for parks, beaches, and backyard operating, but this time Walt explores ideas like
    phased arrays, beam-forming, and higher-gain directional arrays r-" all presented in his familiar notebook-sketch style. Order Now [ https://home.arrl.org/action/Store/Product-Details/productId/2094335552 ]
