NEW ZEPP Broadband Antenna for 1.8 to 30MHz operation. The CHA Zepp Antenna is 75Ft long and covers 10M to 160M with limited performance on 160M. The Zepp is composed of a 25Ft matching section and a 50Ft radiator. Its a true base station or portable stealth antenna. A horizontal configuration of the Zepp antenna will be good for local communications (NVIS from 0 400 miles) on 40M (day evening) and 80M (night).
A vertical / slopper installation (45 degree +) will provide a vertical polarization and will benefit long-range communications. To maximize long distance communications such as DX contacts it is preferable to have a nice line of sight between the horizon and the antenna.
It is also very important to avoid any metallic surfaces to get in contact with any part of the antenna. The CHA Zepp does not required any ground-plane. A longer coax cable can be used instead of the provided jumper cable. The antenna is rated at 500W PEP and totally waterproof. An external tuner is required for low SWRs.
It is the perfect antenna for apartments, condominiums, homeowners associations, deed restrictions and CCRs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions), ARES, RACES, MARS, EMCOMM, NVIS, First Responders and especially for Emergency Preparedness. Frequency: 10M 160M; Power: 500W SSB or 250W CW; RF Connection: PL-259; VSWR: Subject to configuration <3.0:1 typical over 1.8-30MHz (requires external tuner); Length: up to 75Ft, Height: Depends on configuration; Weight: 2.5 Lb. CHA ZEPP impedance transformer with SO-239 connector, 75 ft long wire (radiator and matching section combined), end insulator, and 1Ft RG-8X coax jumper.
