General Communications and Other Military Subjects

Articles by David Fiedler

Below are some articles written by LTC (Retired) David Fiedler in the Army Signal Corps' magazine, Army Communicator (http://www.gordon.army.mil/AC). A number of them are quite relevant to MARS (and amateur radio) use. He is especially well-known as an advocate of HF Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) usage for battlefield communications.

• Tactical VHF Communications
• Beyond Line of Sight Communications (HF NVIS propagation)
• Electrical Grounding
• Proper Use of the RC-292 Antenna
• Skipping the "Skip Zone" (HF NVIS article)
• Operation Concept and Procedures for HF Radio in the Brigade Combat Teams
• Antenna Performance for NVIS Communications
