Tonight the after action list related to Hurricanes Helene and Milton will be discussed, and speaker Corey Ruth, KD3CR, will provide a presentation entitled "Stealth Antennas: Work the World from an HOA".

Most hams living under HOA restrictions struggle to put up decent antennas, especially for HF. The options seem limited: either complex, expensive, have limited bandwidth, lack effectiveness, or some combination thereof. But what if there was a better way? There is: the Broadband Butterfly Terminated Dipole (BBTD) is cheap, easy to build, very flexible, and extremely broadbanded. Learn how you too can work the world from an attic shack. As a bonus, we'll also cover VHF/UHF and the ever-popular End-Fed Half-Wave for temporary operations.
