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


Portable operation is fun but also brings challenges to the radio operator concerning receiver “noise” levels, RF interference from adjacent sources including close by transmitting stations, and RFI from portable generators.  A typical scenario and some suggested Palomar product solutions are shown in the picture below:

Generator RFI testimonial:

Bob 

Received your order in a timely fashion. Tried the generator kit on Sunday & it drops the noise from S9 to S5 and 
took out all the electrical noise.  I may want some more toroids from you at some point for other interference problems
I have  here.

Want to make up your own RFI kits for a particular operation? Here are links to some of  typical RFI solutions used in portable operations:

AC/DC common mode filters

Feed Line chokes

Coax Noise Filters

If you use a computer for logging in your portable operations, RFI getting into computers will often lock up your computer and/or radio and a computer RFI suppression kits may be helpful

Computer RFI Kits

Make your expedition or portable operation a pleasant and fun outing and remember to take along your RFI kits so you have more time to operate rather then to troubleshoot intermittent or noisy receiver conditions.

Portable Antenna Kits

If you need an effective portable antenna which folds up for transport yet is easy to deploy at your operating site, consider the BULLET series of end fed wire antennas.
