Your choice of length -- 44,53,59,72, or 88 ft. And let you cut it to your length. "QSO-KING" End Fed Antenna / All HF Bands.

Tunes 80-6 meters with wide range antenna tuner. Rated at 850 watts PEP. 9:1 transformer is sealed against water infiltration.

14 gauge stranded/insulated black wire. Thermaleze wire with teflon tubing used to wind unun. 4X4X2 NEMA Box for unun. The QSO-KING is a good antenna choice for HOA, MARS, Field Day, base station use, etc. It also make a good portable antenna. The QSO - KING works equally well in a permanent installation or as a portable antenna for away-from-home operations such as Field Day, vacations, camping, back packing, etc. Its ease of installation makes it a very versatile antenna for many different operating scenarios. STEP#1 --- Attach the antenna wire that came with the antenna to the post with the red wing nut on the matching unit. Step#2 --- Attach one end of your coaxial cable to the special matching unit. Step#3 --- Run the other end of your coax to either a choke balun, your antenna tuner, or your radio.

Step#4 --- Attach the end of the antenna wire with the insulator to a high support. You are ready to start making contacts. NOTE --- Hanging the antenna at least 20 ft. High will yield good performance.

Higher almost always works better. NOTE- for best performance, keep your antenna wire away from other metallic objects as much as is possible.

Never hang your antenna above or below power lines. If one of them fell it could lead to a fatal electrocution. Even though no grounding is required on the QSO - KING , I did incorporate a ground connection into the matching unit design. The ground connection is the one with the green wing nut.

Field testing has revealed that the antenna works well with or without a ground attached. The ground connection is there so you can experiment with grounding and/or counterpoise if you so desire.

The QSO - KING can be installed in many different configurations. It can be installed as a sloper, a vertical, an inverted vee, an inverted L, a straight line, zigzagged, etc. Probably one of the easiest installations is to simply attach the antenna to a tree or other tall object.

Keep the lowest end of the antenna at least 6 ft. Up off of the ground. My name is Bruce Beckett and my ham radio call is NU0R. I have been a Ham Radio operator for 40 years now.
