Product Description

MEF-330-1K Multi Band End Fed Half Wave Antenna

This is an End-Fed Half Wave antenna (EFHW) resonant on 8 amateur bands. NO TUNER needed! NO counterpoise needed! High Power (1 Kw) / Low Loss Broadband impedance transformer makes this antenna very unique.

A wire radiator of 133 feet makes this antenna resonant on all bands from 80-10m even better then very known OCF dipole / Windom antenna. It is easy to deploy in field and perfect for HOA challenged HAMs as well as for ARES, MARS etc. Other models like 67 foot radiator for 40-10m also available, even 33 footer with coverage of 20/15/10 (17/12m with tuner) will be available, perfect for backpackers , SOTA etc. activities.

Yes, you will be able to purchase only Transformer and cut the half wave (Monoband) wire of your choosing.

Low Band special Transformer covering only 160-30m with very low insertion loss , as low as 0.25dB is going to be perfect solution for many low band DXers.

National Weather Service Dropping High Seas and Storm Warnings on WWV/WWVH

Posted date: January 30, 2019in: News

The National Weather Service (NWS) is discontinuing its high seas and storm warnings transmitted via National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) WWV/WWVH time and frequency-standard HF transmissions, starting January 31 at 1800 UTC. The NWS warnings are aimed at the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific.

“This service is being terminated because weather information in the current broadcast format does not support frequent-enough updates for changes in marine weather and cannot provide enough detail in the allotted window required by mariners to avoid hazardous weather,” NWS said in announcing the discontinuation. “Additionally, alternative technologies and numerous media outlets that provide weather information in various formats have overtaken the need for providing weather information through the NIST frequency signals.”

The NWS said other sources of marine weather information, high seas alerts, and detailed forecasts are available over satellite, telephone, the internet, marine fax, radio fax, and VHF radio. The NWS, US Coast Guard, and US Navy provide multiple dissemination methods for storm positioning, high sea areas, observations, forecasts, outlooks, and warnings for both coastal and oceanic marine zones near the US, all through a variety of technologies, including NAVTEX and the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
