Communications tips

Radio and computer equipment.

Pre-stage everything before you head out to the site where you will operating. This will go a long way towards keeping old Murphy at bay, allowing you a more trouble-free operation.

Communications antennas.

Be sure to take along your Tilt-N-Raise antenna mount (you do own one, don't you?) so you (and your team if you are in one) can get on the air quickly once you arrive at your operating location.

ARRL Field Day.

There are a good many operators who run Field Day at their local park. One of the biggest drawbacks to operating with one or maybe two operators on Field Day is putting the antenna up. Now with the Tilt-N-Raise you can have your antenna or antenna support up in 5 minutes or less.
