How to Build a High-Performance Vertical POTA Antenna
I Built the POTA PERformer Antenna, So Others May Learn. The POTA PERformer (Portable, Elevated, Resonant) was designed by Greg Mihran KJ6ER. In this video I walk you through the complete build process for 20 meters, every part, every connection, every step, explained in plain English so any ham can follow along. No engineering degree required. If you can cut wire and use a connector, you can build this antenna. 📡 WHAT IS THE POTA PERformer? A quarter-wave elevated vertical with two tuned radials. The feedpoint sits roughly 5 feet off the ground on a tripod, which means you only need two radials instead of a buried ground plane. Lightweight, packs small, deploys fast. Perfect for Parks on the Air, portable HF, camping, or emergency operations. 🔧 IN THIS VIDEO: What parts I use and what everything does Exact wire lengths for 20 meters Building and prepping your radials Feedpoint and choke explained Tripod setup and full field deployment Plain English, built for beginners 📄 Original KJ6ER Plans (free download): https://whiteriverradio.com/wp-conten...
