HF antennas of quasi-zenith radiation for short-range communication

 VNPU HF is a NVIS nondirectional antenna providing communication via ionospheric wave for distance up to 300 km.

Its modification - 2VNPU allows for HF radio communication both in circular zone up to 300 km and in sector zone (60° wide) for distances up to 750 km.
