This post 2655 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas.

Thanks to Tracy of "Outdoors On The Air" for showing us how to enjoy ARRL Field Day in your own backyard.

Many radio amateurs will be operating home stations during this year's ARRL Field Day during the last full weekend of June.

Tracy offers helpful suggestions and antenna tips for operating portable near your home home QTH.


Here are a few of Tracy's comments:

Can't get out into the "real field" for ham radio Field Day? Maybe you should mount an expedition into your backyard. I'll show how I used to do it. I hope this is an encouragement to those who cannot get out to the field for themselves, but still want a taste of the experience. I ended up with a total of 135 contacts across 40, 20 and 15 meters. Footage was shot in 2014. As always, feel free to leave your comments below.
