Nelson Sollenberger, KA2C, and Steve Struharik, WA8EIH

 

Operating ARRL Field Day using multiple radios at the same site can result in RF interference, especially if some of the radios are operated simultaneously on the same band, on harmonically related frequencies, or with antennas separated by only a few hundred feet. In 2021, the Antietam Radio Association of Hagerstown, Maryland, reached their long-held goal of running this type of operation without significant interference. Read this article to find out how they did it. Read NCJ
