Testing the "Grounded GP with Gamma Matching" antenna
On March 21, 2026, on a cold morning, BARC members gathered at the DOSAAF building to test the "Grounded GP with Gamma Matching" antenna for amateur radio bands from 14 to 30 MHz, which was built for the club by Valery EW2C. The antenna is designed for on-air operation in field conditions.
