Ringo Ranger 2 meter Base Antenna

This may be the perfect antenna for Emergency Communications, and it is a long proven base station antenna designed for continuous base station applications.

This is the solid performer that has been a mainstay for Amateur Radio, MARS amd Civil Air Patrol operators for many, many years.

The unique design provides very reliable, year after year operation at any permanent install.

But this is also a great antenna for temporary work in Search and Rescue, Emergency Management and other field operations.

No other antenna I have used has the ability to be collapsed and later returned to operation quickly. A few Sharppy marks and you can be operational in minutes, setup by skilled or unskilled operators.
