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 95+40 =135 feet.

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

5KW antennas are made to order and take approximately 10 days after order to ship.

NI5I: I was using a Buckmaster OCF, was given your 500 watt version second 
hand, then bought your 1500 watt version from HRO last summer. I wanted 
another. I love this antenna!
