The Motorola Amateur Radio Club operated class 1A on the Motorola property in Schaumburg, IL. Here are
a few photos of the setup
Setup is easy when you can borrow two trucks with pneumatic antenna masts from the research department. We had the beam for 20-15-10 M, an 80 M loop and a 40 M wet noodle. The 80 M loop goes between the two trucks.
Note mast on the left supported
by a foot under the front wheel of the van. The 40 M wet noodle antenna extends from the mast
to the pneumatic antenna mast on the research truck.
This a-frame holds up the balun connecting the open wire line from the wet noodle to coax going to the truck.
The antennas show up pretty well in this photo.
