Antenna Show & Tell: June 23

PAPA Antenna Show and Tell Event in Burbank

PAPA members will be meeting Sunday morning June 23 at 9am at McCambridge Park in Burbank to set up and demonstrate some of their favorite portable antenna & rig configurations. While most folks have HF setups for POTA and/or SOTA, VHF/UHF antennas and rigs are encouraged too. Questions? Reach out to RJ, KM6AVH.

Getting There…

McCambridge Park
1515 N. Glenoaks Blvd.
Burbank, CA 91504

Park on Amherst Dr. near the picnic tables (see map at left). Arrive early to get a good parking spot. Restaurants and restrooms nearby. Talk-in on the PAPA System.


The Antenna Show and Tell is a great opportunity for everyone to see, and try out, a variety of antennas in the wild. At the Burbank event we plan to build a couple of HF antennas, and then use an antenna analyzer to see how our handiwork performs. This is also a great opportunity to socialize and share tips, tricks, and techniques for portable HF operation. Many of these tips, tricks and techniques work on the higher band too.

Everyone is welcome. Bring your favorite antenna/rig portable setup if you have one. Bring your questions too as we have a wealth of experience to share.
