MEF-330-2K Multi-Band End Fed Half Wave Antenna Transformer. Used in our EFHW-8010-2K model. This is an End-Fed Half-Wave Antenna (EFHW) transformer covering 3-30Mhz 80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10m amateur bands (used in EFHW-8010-2K model) or any frequency in between. It transforms high impedance 3000 Ohms at the end of half wave radiator to 50 Ohms and features very low insertion loss.

Just adding a wire radiator of 132 feet makes this antenna resonant on 8 bands. Just add 1/2 half wave wire to this transformer and tune the length to your preference. Note that antenna will be working on multiple frequencies.

Half wave for 80m (132 feet) will be half wave on 80m and two (2) half wave on 40m band etc. If you desire to use it on any particular frequency, just cut the half wavelength wire for that frequency or any frequency from 3-30MHz. Wire length can be calculated by following formulas.

Length (feet)= 468/Frequency (MHz) or. Length (meters)=142.5/Frequency (MHz). Always cut a wire a bit longer to allow for tuning to your desired frequency.

Tuning depends on height above ground and nearby objects. There are so many ways to install the wire and your imagination is only limit. You can do it horizontal, vertical, sloping, in inverted L shape, in inverted V shape, Zigzag, etc.

Such antenna will not need radials and in most cases NO Tuner at all. You can use it as vertical against good radial counterpoise too.

Be a HAM and do some experiment. See the expected SWR values in the gallery for a 132ft long wire attached to a transformer. Grounding at the lug next to the SO239 connector is recommended! Long wires tend to collect electrostatic charge (usually when the weather is stormy) which can produce ESD (electrostatic discharge) at the end of your cable and damage your equipment. No guarantee or liability is either expressed or implied pertaining to damages to persons, buildings, or equipment in the installation or use of our antennas. You must use extreme caution when working around power lines.

If the antenna were to come into contact with a voltage carrying line it could be fatal.
