Specifications
| Frequency Coverage | 160 – 6 meters + 30, 17, 12 WARC |
| Gain | As much as 10 dBd* reported at most installations |
| Radiator Length | Horizontal 265′ and the Vertical Radiator is 22′ |
| Feed line | 50 ohm coaxial cable, RG-8X recommended |
| Matching method | Dedicated matching transformer + user’s tuner |
| Tuner needed | Yes |
| SWR | Low, adjust with tuner |
| Power Rating | 1500 watts CW/SSB * |
| Recommended feed point height | 40′ usable at 35′ |
| Radials | Not required |
| * Important: Not rated for AM, RTTY or other high duty-cycle modes. Power rating is for normal SSB and CW duty-cycles only. Exception: At transceiver output levels, this device may be used on PSK-31 and similar modes without increasing the normally low IMD performance. |
| * Based on user reports and field evaluations and is due primarily to theVertical Radiator system and size (in wavelengths) of the antenna. |
Support ConfigurationsIt will not hurt the antenna’s efficiency if you bend the ends of the antenna slightly to make it fit into the space you have. Just keep the vertical radiator in the clear and the wire as high as possible. This antenna is optimized for the lower bands. For even better performance on the bottom bands only, special VERTICAL RADIATORS , optimized for 80 or 40 meters, are available. Ground Space NeededConfiguration vs. Length RequiredFlat Top: 265′ Inverted-V @ 50′ Length = 240′ Inverted-U @ > 50′ Length = 256 – { 2 (height – 8′) } Sloper @ 40′ No major change in length requirements unless you have very tall supports. General Mounting Requirements† Minimum recommended angle between legs = 126° Ideal inverted-V angle = 140° or more. † Minimum angle between legs = 90° † Minimum height at ends = 8′
