Antennas - Is NVIS a good thing?
Bill, NVIS antennas are in fact desirable in some applications, where you wish to communicate only with stations nearby, say out to about 250 miles. I can see them useful in emergency communcations scenarious to get good HF coverage of a local disaster area, or for use on a section traffic net, or other similar "local" communications needs. In a "contest" situation like Field Day they'd be tactically useful to have in your bag if your station was located in a high population density area with a lot of nearby stations like the east coast corridor, so that you'd somewhat avoid having a skip-zone, especially if the low bands (40 and 80) "go long" at night. 73, de Hans, K0HB |
