I've built the NVIS AS2259. I made a 80 meter and 40 meter inverted V on one mast. I used communications wire instead of copper wire, which was useless after a few times going up and down. The stainless steel commo-wire is the only way to go. In Arizona I can cover up to Washington state to Texas and all states in between since I'm not in the mountains. And if a person has a directional antennas, then we can have a Qso From anywhere on the USA.

I was a radio operator and instructor 05B4H in 1967-8 at Fort Huachuca, AZ We still had the GRC-19s on the bench to train on. Most were needless to say old and abused. In the Spring on 1968 we finally got several new GRC-106 sets and I was task with helping set up the new lab. Interesting radio.

Great video. Neat to see what the Army had to use before cell phones. Signal Corps seems to have taken the position that we dont need HF anymore, since soldiers can just use MS Teams and WhatsApp now. It'll be neat to see how that plays out wherever our next major conflict is. It'll be fine, I'm sure my VPN will work great on that day

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 assigned to a special project in the mid 90s where I was going to teach a US made HF radio to foreign forces for recon missions. I opened the box to get the manual but I kicked the box in anger as I knew this was going to be a painful exercise in futility as just another 20 watt manpack as for the last 10 years, HF sucked. I took the manual home as I had to start on my task and when I got to the chapter on ALE and read the concept after 17 years in HF radios, this was the answer I was looking for and it was and for the next three years, we had stellar performance and success. The radio was the 138 Falcon 1, we got trained by manufacturer and programmed all radios by computer and did away with the need to train programming. Two nets were used in NVIS profiles. The country was Korea and we had a network for the ROK SF and then my own unit used the radio to support our mission. We invented the idea of 150 watt vehicular systems that were jerk and setup base stations as we were not field tactical. We sent in a request for a dozen systems - denied. Seems the 90s, don't ever think you get what you want, this is the Army.

I was not getting it yet in my HF work with prop prediction as I did not trust them until two things came. This was HF-ALE radios and then the link quality analysis function. Then engineered from Harris showed me the most simplest dos prediction program in 1994 called mini prop and when LQAs were performed, our channel choices proved to be working. If you do not get a prop study done for your area of operations, plan on failure as I have seen ALE systems where they did not work at all as all frequencies over the MUF and most of the time, unable to communicate at nighttime. We run a prop prediction and show the user how to make the correct choices.

MOS 32H was the HF specific MOS and later combined with 31E to become 29E. I operated the KWM2A with the 30S1 in Okinawa doing phone patches to California for about 4 hours each day with a three curtain rhombic antenna. Later on I got sent to Grenada to set up and operate a portable 50KW AM station as Rangers blew up the original radio Grenada. I was tasked to get the heliax cable buried so my team took turns digging when a SF guy came out and started playing with a dipole antenna and a small manpack. I commented 468 divided by the frequency to him and he asked how do you know that? I said, we do HF also but not with little radios. Latter on, I am SF and SATCOM is making HF not used, the PRC-138 was introduced to me in a special project, it was finally the holy grail and we achieved great success with two methodologies, ALE mode and then the managed net. This was the idea of programming the radios by computer and not spending any time training on how to hand jam radios as there are too many errors.

There was a TTP from ALSA that started in 2002 called HF-ALE. I think the material they produced got integrated into the tactical radios. Anyways I wrote to ALSA in 2001 when the main radio of the last 20 plus years was debuting. They took up the idea and invited me to their working group and then the corporation would not let me attend the working group. I was a newbee at work but I had 23 years HF experience in HF to include guarding the Fort Jackson MARS station in 1976 and included finding my first HF-ALE radios in 1994 as immediately knowing this was the holy grail. This series is the best I've seen.

LTC Fiedler, great presentation! I was in ASA during the Vietnam War. I've been trying to find a copy of the film you mentioned, "Operation Touchdown" for years. I found it once, I'm sure at the National Archives, but they only had the film version and hadn't converted it to digital. I was working as a civilian at NSA at the time and had to jump through all kinds of hoops to get a form signed for an 'official' request. But I never heard back from them. I can't find it in their online catalog now, so will have to call them and see what's up with it.
