Mobile HF Antenna Shootout Results! Seven mobile HF stations participated starting at number seven we will work to first place. We set up a test range to measure the gain (field strength) off of HF mobile antennas at a distance of one wavelength with a max power of 20 Watts output. Four readings were taken with the vehicle pointing West,South,East and North. The measurement point was 250 feet away using a Potomac Field Intensity Meter model 41 Measuring millevolts (3/10) of a volt.

Well there you have the MVARA Spring 2010 Mobile HF Antenna Shootout. Thank you for taking the time for the photos to load and looking at our contest. We are all ready planning the next MVARA Shootout Possibly taking place later this summer. So stay posted because the next shootout will be huge. (We hope) 73!
