Comments:

This was the first portable operating experience for students from Terre Haute
North Vigo High School.  It was a learning experience all around.  We
experimented with antennas, utilizing three different types: 1) a Hi Sierra
screw-driver vertical with ground radials for 80M, 2) and 80M dipole set up as
an inverted V 20 feet high in the middle, and 3) an MFJ-2010, 40,20,10 and 6M
off-center fed dipole supported three feet off the ground on plastic fence
poles with a wire screen counterpoise running beneath it as an NVIS (near
vertical incidence skywave)antenna.  This NVIS antenna is very easy to erect
and we were amazed at how well it performed.
