I have heard a little about communications via NVIS mode, and would like
to know more. Do you know of some good articles describing its
properties and use? Would appreciate any leads.
Thanks and 73

Max--there's a pretty good book available on NVIS that you may be interested
in. The title is "Near Vertical Incidence Skywave Communications--Theory,
Techniques and Validation" by David M. Fiedler and Edward J. Farmer. It's
published by Worldradio books, Bos 189490 Sacramento, CA 95818. Cost
was as
of Nov 98 $14 plus $2 shipping and handling. It's a compendium of articles
these guys had printed in the Army Signal Corps branch magazine "Army
Communicator" and is pretty comprehensive.

To make up for your lack of experience. Try using ten watts of power and a
nine dollar NVIS antennas and find out what you can do. If you don't have
your license, contact you local QRPer, who probably has an antenna that
qualifies as NVIS.
Or is this whole thing spam? You know the sneaky commercial ad.

OK Victor, I operated a commercial station with an NVIS antenna system for a

many years, and had the A.S. Christinsin book handy. It was quite useful and
helped
up to fully utilize the mode for in-state communications. What are the other
"many
mistakes" that are in his message? To me it just looked like he was sharing
what he

at e
knew about the antenna and where to get info for those who wanted it. I

thought the
spirit of ham radio supported sharing info, or is that no longer true in
this modern day?
Every time anyone on this newsgroup seems to say anything there seems to
be
a dozen
flames that follow. Newbies will ask a simple antenna question "how do I
make a dipole"
and the typical reply here seems to start out with "Well if you knew
ANYTHING about
ham radio..." and goes down hill from there, never actually answering the
poor guy's
question and probably making him wonder why he picked ham radio as a
hobby
if
all the folks are so hostile.

( OK, I WILL say that is is very easy to BUILD an NVIS antenna without
having to
buy one at government contract price$ )
