Antennas that were used at Field Day event
- 80 meters: Shirley NVIS (NVIS theory)
- 40 meters: 3 element binomial array + NVIS Jamaica
- 15 meters: 2-element vertical dipole array
- Full-sized G5RV for the GOTA station
More antennas were planned to be
used, but there was just not enough time to set them up. We did
very well with the operations and antennas used. It isn't alway
necessary to add more antennas to a 2A class station.
