33' FEATHER LITE 80-6m WIRE VERTICAL ANTENNA, 600W MFJ-2982 MULTI BAND HF BASE ANTENNA
31' self-supporting vertical sets up in minutes, collapses to only 3.8' -- perfect for RV's, vacations, field day, or as your grab-and-go kit.
More than a simple "flagpole", this complete antenna system includes adjustable base-loading coil, Guanella balun, and counterpoise.
Why it stands out above the others:
Rugged Vertical Element: stout 1-3/4" base supports twist-lock fiberglass sections -- telescope to 31' in seconds. Despite its length, it's so light one person can raise or lower it easily, even in wind. Special light-weight wire reduces
weight distributed in top sections for improved rigidity and reduced sway.
Base Loading Network: Air-wound high efficiency loading coil is continuously tapped to provide full coverage 3.5 - 7MHz. On 17m, the inductor configures as a 5/8-wave for added gain. On 20m, adding inductance improves the load presented
to your tuner. The base tuning unit if RF-isolated and can be attached to any supporting structure.
Portable Counterpoise: No guess work or ground rods needed, just connect four insulated 12' radial wires to the tuning unit and lay them on the ground.
Guanella Balun: Lab rated with up to 30dB common-mode suppression, the balun prevents feedline, radio, and you from becoming part of the antenna!
Easy Wire Handling: Detachable wire spooler makes handling/storing wire easy during setup/takedown. Attaches to antenna body for storage.
Add Wire: Use conductive eyebolt at antenna top to install wires for an inverted "L" or a "T" to enhance low frequency coverage.
Corrosion Resistant: All hardware is aluminum, stainless steel, or corrosion protected to ensure long life.
Low SWR: No tuner is needed for 80/75/6040/17 Meters, because radiator length is fixed at 33'. Operation on 30/20/15/12/10/6m requires ATU.
Power Rating: Components are safety-rated for 600 Watts PEP on SSB/CW.
