Mike’s Coil Workshop
Mike’s Coil Workshop
On Saturday, 23rd of May, Mike (VK4MCF) conducted his antenna coil workshop. Nine participants built their own coils. With a long whip antenna attached to the coil and both placed on a tripod, you have the perfect POTA antenna setup.
A sausage sizzle followed the workshop plus testing of the new coils.
