Off Center Fed Dipole Antenna, 80-6 Meters (9 bands), Resonance Compensator, 500/1.5KW/5KW PEP rated - FREE shipping in USA
Product Details
Brand: Palomar Engineers
Frequency Band(s): 80-40-30-20-17-15-12-10-6
Country/Region of Manufacture: USA
Freq Range (MHz):: 3.5-54 Mhz
Power (PEP watts):: 500/1500/5000
Length (ft):: 131' = (38' + 93')

Excellent features:

*** Covers 80-40-30-20-17-15-12-10-6 meter ham bands

*** Low SWR on most bands or use antenna tuner, 80M optimized at mid-band

*** 500 watts/1.5KW/5KW PEP (SSB-ICAS) options

*** Stainless Steel hardware for long life

*** Halyard Hoist for ease of installation

*** Insulated #14 wire for durability (may be black or gray)

*** High Strength insulators (may be black, white or gray)

*** 4:1 Balun and 1:1 Choke included in a single enclosure

Super convenient and quick – great for contest operation! Choose 500, 1500 or 5000 watt PEP (use 5KW model for digital modes over 1000 watts).

Unlike most competitive brand OCF antennas (at twice the price, and no WARC band or 15 Meter operation), you can transmit and receive on 12,15,17 and 30 meters with our OCF - Better engineering and lower price - only from Palomar Engineers!

INSTALLATION

For best results support center at 30+ feet and ends over 15 feet. Angle of feed each side must be great than 45 degrees or 120 – 180 degrees total between each side preferred. Any length of 50 ohm feed line ok but longer feed lines over 50 feet may show reduced SWR on some bands due to losses in feed line and soil conductivity, nearby objects, etc. Due to local ground conditions, antenna height and feed line length, SWR may vary from samples shown and an antenna tuner may be required or some bands to bring SWR at end of feed line to acceptable levels. Overall length is 131 feet.

If you need a shorter antenna with similar frequency coverage, consider our BULLET-8006 End Fed Antenna which is only 93 feet of wire and has a choke at the 38 foot mark on the coax and only needs 2 supports.

FREE Shipping on USA orders over $100

Insulators may be black, grey or white depending on stock at hand when order is placed. Wire is stranded, insulated and black color.

N connector and 5KW antennas are made to order and take approximately 14 days after order to ship.

TUBE feed line chokes/Line Isolators are used to suppress common mode current carried on the outside of the  coax braid which is often responsible for receiver noise and RFI in the receiver/transmitter. These chokes are very useful for suppressing RFI common mode current at the antenna feed point, at 1/4 wavelength intervals along the coax feed line and also at the entrance to the radio station.  They are available with various input and output connectors so as to conveniently connect to standard output connectors already installed on your feed line.

Palomar Engineers TUBE feed line chokes are designed to have 2-5 times more choking impedance over a broader frequency range than competitor units in similar packaging.  Each choke has the choking impedance and effective frequency range on the product label so you can choose the product best suited for your application.
