USMC FIELD EXPEDIENT ANTENNA APP PACK
NOW AVAILABLE ON IPOD TOUCH, IPHONE, AND IPAD!!!
Marine Corp units operating in the field must be able to communicate to locate, close with, and destroy the enemy. Recon Marines operating behind the lines must communicate information gained back to manuever units in the attack. Now with this application, develop your skills in building field expedient antennas to improve your communication range and increase your mission success. This app contains the definitive field manual reference for building antennas, a compass app (with flashlight for iPhone users) optimized for night time operations based on the authentic G.I. Tritium compass (a must for proper directional antenna orientation), and a half-wave dipole calculator (one of the most common field expedient antennas). Recommended for anyone operating in remote environments and for radio enthusiasts. CHECK WARRIOR CODE'S OTHER GREAT MILITARY/SURVIVAL APPLICATIONS!!!
