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
TECHNICAL NOTE: If you are building your own End fed Long Wire antenna, don't forget the end fed coax choke (or equivalent counterpoise) which is required to make the antenna operate correctly! End fed coax choke part numbers are SOFLC, EFFLC-240
Also make sure you connect a good RF ground to the transceiver ground post.
Note to Flex Radio users: Use snap on ferrites for firewire cable, speaker cable and mic cable, Ring ferrites for Antenna output and DC power.
For additional RFI suppression, use a feed line choke at the antenna to suppress common current on the coax feed line – see our store for feed line choke alternatives for use at the antenna.
If you use a linear amplifier we have RFI kits for linear amplifiers that help suppress RFI in your shack or in your neighbor’s house.
