Designing, building, and using the "Ultimate Antenna Kit" can be challenging, considering the amount of tools available on the market today.

In this video, Michael Martens (KB9VBR) shares his best portable HF antenna kit, which he uses on many POTA/SOTA operations in the U.S. midwest.

Michael says his antenna kit is a continuously evolving project, adapting to the various conditions he finds in the field.

At least for today, this is Michael's current kit model, something that may give you ideas for your own portable HF antenna system.

Thanks for joining us today.
