F6IRF/P IN87NN
One example of last night 80m session. As usual all levels are normalized to 1W. Apparently my 80m portable antenna is working fine...
The portable antenna, just a bit shorter (16.5m) than my home one, but built on the same principle (see the best of this blog). Built with a light telesopic mast, a steppIR fiber element, and a a light fishing rod.
Just a dozen of 10m radials laying on the ground, enough to get the radiation resistance close to 28 ohms on 80m. Matching is just done by a serial coil and 28/50 ohms UNUN.
