Use it as your primary antenna as I do! Just a good antenna to keep you on all bands at all times. Great back up for emergencies!!
Great for restricted space situations. This is fully compatable with all radios from the tube type of the 1930's to todays CPU 2017 solid state radios and FLEX-5000 Software Defined Radios as stated from a happy customer. Marine Radios as well, No ground radials required as it has an Internal built in Current path!
Note: This may not out perform a Full Sized 1/4 or 1/2 wave perfectly tuned mono-band vertical tuned at that band with a good ground radial system. This antenna is about convenience and ease of use and will perform very well with good all band broad band matching without a tuner or ground radials. As with all verticals, this one will also work better with a good ground system for added performance. The design of this antenna has an Excellent Signal to noise ratio and greatly reduces man made and terrestrial electrical interference so you can hear the weak signals where you could not before.Antenna is Guaranteed for 1 year from defective materials and workmanship. Please ask any and all questions you may have, I will answer truthfully. Frequency-From below 160m continuously through 6m (160m, 80m, 75m, 60m, 40m, 30m, 20, m17m, 15m, 12m, 11m, 10m, 6m).
VSWR------1.0:1 to 2.1:1 worse case. Mast size---1.5 to 2.0 inches. Mast to mount antenna on is NOT Included (Suggest using 2 Dia steel Fence post tubing). No Radials or counter poise needed, Radials can improve performance if you choose to use them.Frequency Range--- 15 KHz through 156 Mhz. Hand made right here in the USA.
Stainless steel hardware used throughout. I couldn't wait for the weekend and got the antenna up yesterday. Very easy to put up, a very well made antenna.
I'm just getting back into ham radio and do not have my license yet. I went through radio school in the army and was hooked. Now that I have retired I have the time. One of my neighbors here is a ham and came over last night and we checked it out. I must say we were very impressed.
Just using the built in tuner on my Ten Tec Jupiter it tuned 1:01 on 20, 40, & 80. My friend couldn't believe it and kept checking it. He quickly made contacts in Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, N. On 20m he made contact somewhere in South America but hisish wasn't good enough to really understand much. All this on 100 watts or less.I think being on the water really helps at times. I'll get you some photos this weekend. And Another good customer said.
Dear carlh1979, I received the antenna base today. I couldn't wait for the rest of the antenna to thaw out, so I brought it into my house to warm up. Fortunately my wife wasn't home to shake her head and give me that Are you nuts? I reassembled the antenna and put it back up, frozen fingers and all. My MFJ-269 shows nothing over 1.7:1, on ALL bands.
It tests just as good with my FLEX 5000. If it holds up through the winter, this may be the best antenna that I have had for the past 10 years.
I'll let you know what I find. Thanks for your dedication to perfection. It has paid off with me, and I'll be happy to spread the word. The item "All Band multiband 13-Band HF VHF Vertical antenna Ham Radio Amateur" is in sale since Tuesday, October 24, 2017.
