“Lets say you’re in Alaska with a mountain in the way” My situation exactly.

Civilian HAM here, but still learning a thing or two. Great video series!

enjoyed watching your videos so far. I have a AN/PRC-104 and a Icom IC-7200

Outstanding Video - as a former MARS Operator we train and use NVIS every day. I have used NVIS/HF on 80 40 and 60 meters with great success while caught in and stranded on St. John USVI during Hurricane Maria - N1EZZ

I would too! Sounds interesting.

Hey really enjoying your hf series, I worked hf in the RAF in many theatres over a 22yr military career and am just embarking on an amateur licence so I am using your series as refresher training!

Good presentation! 4X4XM, Doron

Thanks to Igor for pointing out that the three highlighted articles in the presentation, although are from 2004 Vol 28 No. 4 of Army Communicator magazine, their website archive has it listed as Winter 2004 Vol. 29 No. 4. cybercoe.army.mil/AC/archive.html

The thing about antennas is....yes, planning and theory are essential to know about. But in the end, try it and see what happens. It is not unusual to end up with path performance that you didn’t anticipate. The very best for antenna and frequency planning is....do your best to plan, and then try it. I’ve been surprised (shocked?) more times than once. And sometimes you use the best you can in a given situation, realizing your setup probably sucks, but it’s all you have and you hope for the best, or you hope someone can/will relay for you. But once again, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with great comms while expecting horrible, many more times than once.

Is there a link to all of the power points for this series?

Hey, very nice work!!! actually i found yellow articles in VOL. 29

Yup, the magazine edition itself is vol 28 no 4 but they mislabeled it in their archive as vol 29. Again thanks so I can help reroute folks to that.

Thank you so much, I was looking all over for it

link to the army communicator magazine is dead unfortunately :(

Then articles in the 80s were non-existent with no internet to help find them so sort of useless. I suffered with no graps of concepts in this period. There is another Author greater than all from the USAF and his work comes from Vietnam outward and he ended up as the spectrum manager of the USAF and the patent holder for the tilt whip adapter. His name is A. S, Christensen and I have a compendium of his articles he wrote for the USAF as well as two volumes when he became a civilian consultant. It's the epitome of pre-ALE expertise for tactical radio and antennas.

I got 40 meter band set up nvis.

Is there somewhere to download these slides?

Hi, none of the links are working for me, are they dead or are they for US residents only? Thank you for a great series of videos.

I think there is only one link in this video. So is your comment about all the links in the video series? As far as the Army Communicator link, the school changed their link in december. Https://cybercoe.army.mil/AC/archive.html

No worries! And thank you for bringing to my attention they changed the link. I need to do a better job of checking the freshness of links in videos. They are a year old now so understandably things change. 73's
