SPRING 2023 ANTENNA TUNE-UP CLINIC

May 20, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

WHAT:
Once a ham has their antenna working at some level, they often don’t bother to see how much
better it can perform with a few improvements. Even if they wanted to, they usually don’t have the
instruments or knowledge to do this themselves. This is your chance to see how much more
performance you can squeeze out of your antenna with a few key changes. We’ll do some basic tests on
your antenna system and then make some recommendations. We will even have some devices you can
try out on your antenna on the spot, and re-test to see if it helped. Then you’ll know what to buy and
how to install it.
This is a follow-up event from the Antenna Shootout where we do a live test of your antenna’s HF
transmission and reception performance. By participating in the Antenna Tune-up Clinic, you should be
able to boost your antenna’s performance in time for Field Day 2023!

WHY:
The objective is to see exactly how much we might be able to improve your antenna, and then
what you can do to make those changes yourself later on.

WHO:
Anyone interested in testing their antennas or just hanging out to learn about antennas and
ham radio are welcome. The idea is to try out different antenna approaches and share what is learned.
This invite is going out to all Las Vegas area ham clubs and groups so we can have a very lively turnout.
We especially welcome newbies and those simply interested in seeing different antennas in action.
