Dipole/OCF/ZS6 Antenna Wire Kits (160-6 meters)
Product Details
Brand: Palomar Engineers, Inc.
Country/Region of Manufacture: USA
Dipole Antenna Wire Kit for dipoles from 160 meters to 6 meter. Includes 2 end insulators, #14 Insulated stranded copper wire and spade lugs and heat shrink for lugs for attachment to an optional balun (use 1:1 balun for most dipole arrangements).
The OCF Antenna Wire kits are for 80 meters (95 feet + 40 feet) that covers 80-40-20-17-15-12-10-6 meters or 40 meters (12 feet and 53 feet) that covers 40-20-17-15-12-10-6 meters or 160 Meters with additional tuning stub for 40/20. See OCF Manuals in Antenna downloads section for additional dimensions and setup.
Insulators are a very stealthy, strong, pair of 2 PVC, 2 1/4" long. 1" wide. 1 1/8" hole separation wire antenna insulators and may be black, gray or white depending upon inventory
50 ohm coax to 75 ohm balanced output baluns are useful for low (< 1 wavelength) dipoles exhibiting 75 ohm characteristic impedance or for matching to balanced ladder line whose endpoint impedance is near 75 ohms.
50 ohm coax to 75 ohm CATV coax connections are easily done with a 1.5:1 unun with SO-239 connectors on input and output. Likewise 50 ohm coax to unbalanced verticals or loads near 75 ohms can be matched with a 1.5:1 unun.
