End Fed Half Wave Antenna Transformer 49:1   Genuine Fair-Rite FT-140-43 toroid. Condition is New.

I am the builder of this transformer and have tested it extensively on 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters.

This size is designed for lower power applications. 80 watts on SSB, 50  watts on CW and 35 watts on digital.

I have run these at much higher wattages with no ill effects, but I don't want to overrate these like many other sellers do. (see my other listings for the high power version and QRP version)

I have a 66 foot end fed antenna that I'm using and have found the SWR across all 4 bands to be 1.5:1 or less! Every transformer I sell has been individually tested to make sure it meets my expectations. I have performed dozens of signal comparisons with my full size G5RV and in the majority of the cases the EFHW was the winner.

You can, of course, also use this on 80 meters with a 132 foot wire if desired. It has been my experience that connecting only the antenna wire and nothing else works very well! No Ground, No counterpoise, No Common Mode Choke, only the coax and antenna wire. I personally am using 50 feet of RG8X which works fine. Remember that the coax is part of the antenna, so don't make it too short. 

 If you are in any way dissatisfied with this product just return for full refund (minus shipping). Size is 3.5" X 2.5" X1.5" (less connectors) Weight is about 5oz.

Note: The labels on the box (antenna etc.) were added over the photo for clarity. They are not on the actual transformer box.

Thanks and 73, Walt
