With the right antenna, an operator can change a
marginal net into a reliable net. Marine Corps Reference Publication
(MCRP) 6-22D, Antenna Handbook, gives operators the
knowledge to properly select and employ antennas to provide the
strongest possible signal at the receiving station of the circuit.
MCRP 6-22D builds on the doctrinal foundation established in
Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 6-22, Communications
and Information Systems. This handbook is intended not
only for CIS officers and radio operators, but for all personnel desiring
information about antenna fundamentals.
