The SLV is useful for clandestine operating around condos or apartments. The tapered profile and black finish are understandably difficult to detect at night. The antenna can practically be erected by feel in a pinch.
This little antenna follows little QRP rigs almost anywhere. Once there, a SLV offers an opportunity to get our low power tranceivers on the air with a respectable signal.
Finally, a not unexpected reminder that if the bands are dead the fish might be biting. Either way a SLV operator is properly equipped. Good luch and be sure to pass along any modifications to the original design.
