Description

EIGHT BAND COVERAGE WITH THIS END FED 1/2 WAVE ANTENNA Each antenna is custom built, tuned, tested & documented for maximum performance. Ideal for quick and easy installations. Employs T-240 toroid in a unun transformer wound with 18awg copper magnet wire. Stainless steel hardware. Matched for 50 ohm coaxial cable with PL-259 connector. Element is 133' 6" of 14awg low loss stranded pure copper wire and pretuned for 8 band operation. (wire color may differ from picture) SWR 1.5/1 or better. (Tuner required on 30 meters) Weather proof encased circuitry eliminates faulty and corroded connections and components. Conservatively rated at 200 watts SSB & CW, 125 watts on DIGITAL, intermittant amateur service. Easy installation, many configurations work well. Works well even at low heights and on small lots. Operates 10 12 15 17 20 30 40 & 80 meters with single 50 ohm coaxial transmission line, no antenna switch required. Lower noise level on receive than dipole and vertical antennas because of closed circuit input. This is probably the best performing multi-band wire antenna I have built and used in the past 50+ years. The performance is surprsing at any power level considering the bandwidth and appearant low angle of radiation (for dx), even when installed at low heights above ground. As with any antenna your coax shield should be grounded at outside wall of home to meet NEC standard. For safety purposes keep antennas clear and away from power lines.
