[Milsurplus] RE: NVIS

[Ralph Hogan]

Robert,

NVIS=Near Vertical Incidence Skywave. Its for HF out to 400 or so miles by
having the radiated pattern at a hi-angle upward. Usually done with a very
low to the ground wire antenna, or 'bending' over a mobile HF whip. Current
popular miltary ant hardware is the AS2259.

Try looking at Tricia's website:

She has some info on German WW2 mobile usage.
