November 2024 Elmer Meeting
Our presenter is Dave W7UUU from Burley, WA. He’s been licensed since 1974 and active for most of that time. Tonight’s program is an educational and entertaining look at limited-space and/or HOA antennas. The basic types and concepts are shown in a short segment to explain each, followed by a 3 minute video with actual SSB audio of 8 such antennas compared back-to-back with rather astounding results. It’s a fun presentation whether you live in an HOA or have acreage with towers.
