Mike Burns's NVIS Program!


Mike, KE4DZU, did a great job of presenting a program on NVIS to the club.

"What is NVIS?
Near-Vertical Incident Skywave is a combination of radio hardware, skywave radio propagation, operating procedures, cooperation, and knowledge used by a group of radio operators who need reliable regional communications. It fills the gap between line-of-sight groundwave and long-distance "skip" skywave communications." http://www.athensarc.org/nvis.htm


For those who want to learn more about this form of using HF antennas check out some of these sites:
