Program:“Think Like A Backpacker” by George Zafiropoulos, KJ6VU
In this presentation, George will describe the process of design, theory of operation and use of the highly portable PackTenna HF wire antennas and thoughts for packing light when operating radio on the trail.
Bio: George has been a ham since 1972. He has a wide variety of radio interests including home brewing, QRP, and repeater building. His current station is a Flex 6400, an Elecraft K3, and a modest 6 band vertical (6BTV) and several QRP rigs. His favorite mode is HF CW and he can be found on DMR talk group 31075.
