Jerry, I quoted from a recent revision of FM 24-18 (my hard copy is dated 13
December 1984) but I do recall a TC (training circular) released between
December 76 and mid 1980 while I had unit training NCO or Battalion
Communications NCO responsibilities which discussed the NVIS antenna and its
use in Vietnam.
Information on the AS-2259/GR NVIS antenna can be found at
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/24-19/Ch3.htm ;
1. requires 84’ by 84’ area for inverted vee guys on 42’ center support – in
practice shorter vertical support can be used
2. provides 0-300 mile radius NVIS communications (actually greater range is
usual) over 2 – 30 MHz.
http://www.prc68.com/I/AS2259.shtml provides a wealth of information including
pictures and links on NVIS, antennas used, etc.
73 es DX,
Gary - AB9M

The appendix I can down load about NVIS is not dated, but shows a HUMV,
that's not 1970s. Late 80s.
