Almost all pedestrian mobile videos demonstrate operating at 14 MHz or higher. There's good reason for this - compact antennas are more efficient and there's more chance of working over 2000km DX. However 7 and especially 3.5 MHz present special challenges to the QRP pedestrian mobile operator. In this video I demonstrate 3.5 MHz operation with a lightweight loop that's less than 1 metre in diameter. The loop is described in more detail at https://www.vk3ye.com NOTE: Apologies for the jumpy text. Due to YouTube's stabiliser!
