Description

The 1/2 wave dipole is a balanced antenna that needs no balun, has less RFI problems than an end fed half wave and provides signal gain at a low angle of radiation (gain models out at 2.1-2.5dbi depending on installation) Lightweight and excellent for quick deployment for POTA, SOTA, or emergency service (ex: 20m dipole is slightly over one pound) Simple to install and tune. Center insulator easily hung with rope or other support. Can be installed as an inverted vee, dipole, or a vertical 14AWG THHN stranded insulated elements with solid copper, NO easy to break copper clad aluminum. Impervious to UV Center Insulator built with 1/8th inch thick PVC and bonded with PVC solvents for strength, durability, and water resistance Mounting eye bolt is 1/4 inch steel for strength. Built to give years of trouble free service Simple instructions included on tuning and installation included Rated for 2kw ICAS Just attach your coax with a PL259 connector, fine tune if needed, and operate. Dipoles are also resonant on their 3rd harmonic frequency. EX: a 40 meter will resonant on 15 meters, a 6 meter will resonate slightly above the 2 meter band Each antenna is individually tuned slightly below the bottom of the band so you can tune to your installation and favorite part of the band, or use as is with an antenna tuner. Includes after sale support via ebay messaging, email, or telephone with decades of RF engineering at your disposal. Made in America with American components Custom antennas for a specific frequency, including shortwave bands, can be handled easily, contact for details.
