10 METER BAND
DIPOLE/INVERTED V WIRE ANTENNA
WITH 100' SUPPORT ROPE |
-
This antenna will provide
reliable communications in a permanent or portable
installation.
-
Completely portable. Will
easily fit in a 'bug-out bag'.
-
Can be installed or taken
down in minutes.
-
The center connector is a
one piece molded body and is designed for high stress
(up to 18,000 PSI tensile strength).
-
Note: This is not PVC
pipe fittings with eye hooks that will pull
apart or leak when stressed or exposed to harsh
weather.
-
The center connector
will not crack or become brittle when exposed to
sunlight.
-
The antenna wire is soldered
to the center connector and covered with 'heat
shrink tubing'. No internal or external
nuts to come loose or corrode.
-
Designed for the full
legal power!
-
Antenna wire is 14 gage,
insulated, stranded, copper wire. Regardless of what you
may hear, insulated wire has little or no effect on the
received or transmitted signals when used at HF (high
frequency).
-
Solid, copper coated
steel wire is very difficult to work with and will
kink and break at the kinks. Stranded copper wire is
very easy to work with and has no 'reel memory'.
-
Copper coated steel wire
will fail when the copper coating is damaged and the
steel is exposed to the elements.
-
Bare copper or steel
wire cannot be used when ran through trees or other
foliage. This will detune the antenna and
cause high SWR when transmitting and a loss of
signal when receiving..
-
This antenna will be shipped, completely
assembled with dipole
dimensions as shown. The antenna is tuned for the low end of the
band (longest wire section). If installed as an inverted V, It may need to be
shortened by about 5%. The exact length will depend on the desired
resonant frequency, height above ground, and proximity to other
objects such as trees, buildings, etc. A table will be included that
shows recommended lengths for resonant frequencies.
-
The ends of the antenna (attached to the
center connector) are soldered and weather proofed with heat shrink
tubing. The ends
(attached to the
insulators) are just twisted together (Not soldered) allowing for
easy adjustment.
If you adjust the length, just untwist
and pull more wire through the insulator and wrap it back on itself.
There is no need to cut the wire. Be sure to adjust both sides
equally. A table will be included with recommended lengths for
inverted V and dipole configurations.
Comes fully assembled. Installation instructions included.

Antenna Center
Connector
|
Designed for durability and
light weight, this connector provides a coax SO-239
socket for accepting PL-259 feed line connector. The one
piece molded body offers weather tight
construction and provides a drip shield to protect the
coax fittings. Full legal power capacity. |
