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.
