One of the Ham Radio Antennas that I have used most often for POTA – Parks on the Air – is the TN07 SFP-102 32′ telescoping flagpole antenna, which includes a matching unit capable of operating 10-80 meters with no tuner. This is a great antenna for simple and easy deployment, and it works great on multiple bands. Let’s activate K-3013, Galveston Island State Park today while using this antenna!
