This antenna was designed by N6JSX Kuby for Transmitter hiding. Fitting the requirements of directionality, high gain, and portability. This antenna was derived from the ARRL Handbook information on Quagi's and Yagi's; in the absence of two meter Quagi information, UHF Quagi dimensions were scaled into 146 MHz use.

Presents a commercial entity specializing in robust portable antenna mounting solutions for amateur radio field operations. The company's primary offering, the Tilt-N-Raise system, facilitates rapid deployment and secure elevation of various HF and VHF/UHF antennas in temporary setups. These mounts are engineered to withstand environmental stressors commonly encountered during DXpeditions, contests, and emergency communications exercises. The design emphasizes ease of assembly and transport, crucial for operators frequently deploying antennas away from fixed stations. The system typically accommodates mast sections, allowing for significant antenna height, and provides a stable base for directional arrays or wire antennas. Operators utilize such mounts to optimize signal propagation and minimize setup time in diverse outdoor environments.

Presents field test results for an **elevated SuperAntenna MP-1** portable antenna, configured on a tripod for HF operations. The resource details the antenna's setup and performance during a portable activation, focusing on its use across the 40-meter, 20-meter, and 17-meter amateur bands. It includes observations on signal reports and operational considerations for this specific portable antenna configuration. The content provides practical insights into deploying the MP-1 antenna in a non-ground-mounted setup, which is often a point of interest for portable and QRP operators. It documents the author's experience with the antenna's tuning and effectiveness for making contacts under real-world conditions, offering a user-perspective review of its capabilities. The article also features photographic evidence of the antenna's deployment, illustrating the tripod mounting and the overall portable station setup.

This article details the construction process for a simple, low-profile, multiband antenna designed for POTA (Parks On The Air) operations. It focuses on transforming a photographer's lighting tripod into a ham radio antenna, specifically addressing the electrical isolation of the top two radiating tube sections from the bottom support tube. The author, John VA3KOT, provides guidance on sourcing components such as the tripod (e.g., Amazon Basics Aluminum Light Photography Tripod Stand) and the telescopic whip (e.g., Buddipole's Long Telescopic Whip, measuring 9 feet 4 inches fully extended). The article also recommends using adhesive copper tape for contact areas and conductive grease to maintain high conductivity and prevent oxidation where tripod tubes connect. The total radiating element length is noted as 13 feet, formed by the whip and 4 feet of the tripod tubes. The construction does not require special tools but emphasizes careful assembly.
