Take your antenna projects further with next level portable antennas by Salty Walt, K4OGO. This sketchbook guides you from simple builds to advanced designs while introducing key concepts like gain, phasing, and beam-forming to help you work more DX and operate anywhere.
17 Next Level Portable Antennas by Salty Walt, K4OGO!
Take your portable antenna projects further with Salty Walt's Next Level Portable Antenna Sketchbook, his second portable antenna workbook. Start with straightforward setups like the three-element vertical Yagi-Uda and half-square, then tackle advanced designs like the bobtail curtain, portable rhombic, and co-phased vertical arrays. Along the way, explore beam-forming, gain, antenna phasing, and other concepts that will transform your antenna experiments.
No matter where you are, Walt’s approachable designs will help you work DX, experiment, and have fun. Build military-inspired antennas that get your signal out, or try a variation of the venerable rhombic using just a pair of poles and long runs of wire. For next-level operation, you’ll need the right transceiver. Walt shares radios from his collection, along with insider tips to help you get the most out of them—whether you’re running QRP or 100 watts.

When I received my call sign a few years back, I was flooded with purchases of junk. Fast forward to 2019. I decided I wanted to build another option, not a dealer who has the same stuff as everyone else, but a dealer who actually uses what he sells. And that’s exactly what I do. If you see a product on this page or one of our tables at Hamfest, you can bet we have tried it and like it. From Radios to connectors we strive to bring you QUALITY. Sure, you can find it cheaper and we understand that, but if you don’t want to buy it again in 6 months, take a look at what we sell and have already approved. I am always just a phone call away. Jim Gifford, KM4MPF.
