Antennas
There are many variables in radio communications. However, at the team level only location and antenna construction are controllable by the operator.
Those of you who are in or are about to start SF Communications training, pay close attention. In my experience the basics taught in Training Group worked. I had more success with a 100 ft longwire antenna than most did with their dipoles, parasetic arrays, loaded up buffalo horns, etc.
Below is a picture of an A-team team house in RVN. Notice the typical array of antenas. Some teams buried their antennas. It wasn't that available then, but I should think that PVC pipe would be perfect for burying an antenna.
All antenna stories are welcome. Don't believe everything you hear. The proof is in the Commo!
