Your MF-HF whip antenna breaks off and is carried away in a storm. What would you do to regain operation on MF-HF frequencies?

Correct Answer: Option C — Rig a wire antenna approximately 35-75 ft long per the equipment instruction manual.

When an MF/HF whip antenna is lost, the emergency replacement must be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure the antenna tuner can achieve a proper SWR match. Using a 35-75 foot wire is the standard emergency procedure to restore resonance and effective radiation for distress communications.
