Vertical Length

33 ft

Radials Minimum 12; Ideal 48

Weight 15 lb (EZ to ship)

Stability 2 guys: 100mph – 2 sq. ft. Wind load

EZ To Assemble

1 element + steppir motor + controller

Power Rating 3 KW

Band coverage

80M (w/coil), 40M, 30M, 20M, 17M, 15M, 12M, 10M, 6M

Wavelength ¼ wave (80M-6M); ¾ wave (15M-6M)

SWR Tuneable to 1:1 on each band

Controller Stores tuning settings in memory

Low DX Angle Outstanding DX performance – Salt Water

Bottom Line Great DXpedition Antenna
