The PAL-OCF4010 covers 40-30-20-17-15-12-10 and 6 meters in a length of 66 feet. In most cases, no antenna tuner is needed and switching bands is as easy as changing the band on the radio. Super convenient and quick – great for contest operation! Choose 100, 500, 1500 or 5000 watts PEP power levels.
Uses hybrid balun containing wide band 4:1 transformer + 1:1 common mode feed line choke to keep all your power on the antenna and off the feed line coax outer conductor!
Unlike Buckmaster OCF antennas (at twice the price, and no WARC band or 15 Meter operation), you can transmit and receive on 6, 12, 15 and 17 meters with our OCF - Better engineering and lower price - only from Palomar Engineers, the ferrite balun experts!
Also much quieter than end fed half wave antennas!
50 Feet Black Coax RG8X Cable (up to 1500 watts - NOT RECOMMENDED FOR 5K version). Includes SO239 Barrel connector to interface extension cable.
INSTALLATION
For best results support balun 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 internal or external antenna tuner may be required or some bands to bring SWR at end of feed line to acceptable levels for your station. Overall length is 66 feet (11 feet and 55 feet sides).

Works as advertised. OCF concept is very viable and efficient. SWR is low out of the box. Highly recommend.

The antenna works exceptionally well in the inverted‑V configuration, and I often receive unsolicited compliments on my signal strength. This is my second OFC, and this version features moisture weep holes on the bottom along with improved wire quality.
