Members erect several antennas to get on the air as quickly as possible.
Chris erects a buddipole on his car and demonstrates to Joe and Carole how the buddipole is tuned . He gets on the air with Jim in minutes. Meanwhile, a team of volunteers help Tom erect a pair of masts for a second antenna. Chris puts together a third one, a telescoping dipole antenna. Instant antenna farm.
