The Horizon UltraLite Shooting Star is Horizon's original version of its legendary multi-band HF vertical dipole. The beautiful nickel finished structure with a low take-off angle makes your signal literally jump into the ionosphere with maximum power on your first bounce. The UltraLite is a center-fed vertical dipole antenna with a very low radiation take-off angle (around 27 degrees above horizontal), allowing for very long distances on the HF bands. The Horizon UltraLite is a ground-mounted omni-directional antenna, requiring no ground radials, tower, or rotor. The UltraLite represents a revolutionary jump in HF antenna performance, convenience, and reliability.
The artfully crafted UltraLite was designed with ease of use in mind. Therefore, all UltraLite antennas are pre-assembled and tuned at the time of manufacture. With its compact four-part fold-up design, the UltraLite is ready to go right out of the box for permanent installation, or quick and easy travel, using the optional Horizon Travel Bag and Horizon Quadrapod travel stand. At only 4.7 pounds, it is truly UltraLite with ease of transport.
The Shooting Star is also great for use at your home station. When you decide to take it portable with our optional Horizon QuadraPod and Horizon Travel Bag, the total package weight is an amazing 9.7 pounds.
