Product Details
Brand: Palomar Engineers, Inc.
Country/Region of Manufacture: USA

Bullet End Fed Long Wire (EFLW) Antenna Wire Kit for end fed long wire antennas - choose 41, 71, 111, 155, 173, 203, 268 foot lengths complete with end insulator, #14 Insulated stranded copper wire and spade lugs and heat shrink for lugs for attachment to an optional Bullet 9:1 unun.


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

See related products for 9:1 transformers from 100 watts to 5KW, 9:1 toroid kits, and feed line chokes.

For a complete installation you will need 9:1 unun, wire kit, appropriate length of coax, and feed line choke (SOFLC is easiest to use and change position as you tune the antenna).

Bullet Antenna Length - feet (41, 71, 92, 111, 155, 173)
Corresponding Counterpoise length feet (16, 42, 90, 37, 95, 80) - place feed line choke on coax at this measured length from 9:1 unun


16:1 Baluns are useful between 750-850 ohm balanced loads where the impedance at the  end of the feed line is 800 ohms (1/2 wavelength feed line), or high impedance feeds for rhombic,  T2FD and traveling wave antennas.

16:1 Ununs are useful between coax and long wires with a load impedance near 800 ohms like a beverage antenna.  Shortwave listener antennas also can benefit with the 16:1 unun and it may provide a better match than 9:1 ununs – this means quieter noise levels and stronger signals so you can hear distance stations easier.
