NOTE!!!
Please consider purchasing much better antenna which has LOW SWR (2:1 or better) on 8 bands
Models are EFHW-8010-1K, EFHW-8010-P, EFHW-4010-1K etc. They are available in our eBay store
ALL BAND HF ANTENNA This is an End Fed multi-band, wire antenna that will cover all bands from 80 to 6 meters, including the WARC Bands, as well as 60m meters and MARS frequencies. It utilizes a 9:1 UNUN transformer in order to bring the impedance of an antenna to more manageable values for you antenna tuner. It is a great antenna for HAM radio operators living in HOA controlled housing, hams desiring a very stealthy RV antenna, Field Day operations, sail boats, portable operating, backyard installations, ARES, RACES, etc. NOTE *** A wide range tuner may be needed to tune this antenna on 80 - 6 meters.
Additional information: Terminated into 450 Ohms load (RESISTOR), VSWR on 9:1 UNUN is almost flat from 1-30Mhz ( see the measured diagram in gallery)
· It takes only moments to deploy the antenna. Pull the wire end into a tree, hang it off the balcony, lay it on the roof, hook it to a pole, hook it to a building, etc., and you are on the air and making contacts. · Most HF ham bands can be tuned by the tuner in your radio. NOTE: to tune all HF ham bands an external tuner may be required. · It could work without counterpoise (Coaxial cable has to be at least 25feet long) but grounding at wing nut next to connector is recommended. · This antenna can be hung in many different configurations. It can be hung as a sloper, an inverted L, hung in a straight line, zigzagged, vertical, horizontal, etc. etc. · Antenna polarization is determined by your installation. Vertical, horizontal, or both can be accomplished. · Due to possible common mode currents on your feeder we recommend using CMC-Common Mode Choke/Line isolator reduce RF away from you and your equipment. It will also help you on receive by filtering induced noise from various sources. Our CMC-Common Mode Choke/Filter/Line Isolator/Noise Suppressors are available at our => Ebay store RF Isolators-CMCs --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
