| Dipole antennas of various types are also popular for portable VHF/UHF expeditions, and some people use them to good effect on SOTA trips. Coax dipoles are included here, but some people would probably put them as a vertical. We’ll leave that debate and whether all vertical antennas are actually dipoles for an antenna theory class, though. | Dipole antennas of various types are also popular for portable VHF/UHF expeditions, and some people use them to good effect on SOTA trips.
