PAPA members will be meeting May 17 in Tustin (9am ~12pm) and May 24 in Burbank (9am ~ 1pm) to set up and demonstrate some of their favorite portable antenna & rig configurations. If you would like to learn about setups for POTA and/or SOTA, come on out and see the variety of HF, VHF and UHF antennas PAPA folks are using, along with their battery and rig configurations.
If you want to bring your radio setup, please do! We can also use some snacks to share and pop-ups for shade. Please contact:
- Bryan, WT6T if you are attending the Burbank event
- Ivo, N6IVO if you are attending the Tustin event

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.
