Antenna OUR TOP
SELLER! Here's a
great end-fed long wire 80 - 10 Meter multi-band antenna. Whether you're
looking for a portable antenna or trying to put up a covert antenna that really
works and won't bother the neighborhood, this is a great solution. We've been
in the radio business for over 15 years and sold hundreds of these antennas to satisfied hams.
They're a simple, inexpensive way to get on the air and WORK THE WORLD! At a total length of 75
feet, the antenna consists of a 25 foot matching section with a 50 foot
radiator. The antenna terminates to your antenna tuner or radio with tuner with
a PL259 connector. Designed for low profile
installations such where low visibility is critical (CC&R restrictions /
homeowners associations, apartments & condos) and where no ground plane or
grounding system is available, as this design requires no counterpoise and is
end-fed for easy, versatile installation. Modeled after the famous Zepp (Zeppelin)
antenna, where the antenna is an end-fed dipole. Connect the PL-259 end to our
rig's tuner and run the antenna up an out from there. It is constructed of the
highest quality UV tolerant cable. All outdoor elements are sealed with weather
sealing heat shrink, and the far end of the antenna is terminated with a
mounting loop for easy attachment to a tree, house or push up poll.

can really get creative on the placement of the antenna. Run it as a sloper,
vertical on a tree or pole, inverted L up the side of the house and along the
roofline. Some even run it indoors for dorm or apartment style installations or
drop it over balconies for temp / stealth operation. I run
two of these antennas at my house because of the regulations of my home owner's
association. We cannot have antennas of any form, so I run the first antenna
along the top ridge of my two-story home. Because the antenna is parallel to
ground, the pattern tends to be very vertical, making for good local HF
communications and moderate long range DX. The second antenna, I run as a
sloper where I push the unit up during night time DX hours with a fiberglass
push-up pole and get good long range DX propagation. This antenna does require a
tuner or built-in radio antenna tuner. It tunes with an SWR of less than 1.2 up
on all bands (including WARC bands) 80 to 10 meters and is
rated up to 200 watts. M A D E I N U S A -- Keep America
