HUSTLER 6-BTV

The main station antenna is an HF vertical dipole the HUSTLER 6-BTV with the 17M and 12M ‘add-ons’ so it covers 80M, 40M, 30M, 20M, 17M, 15M, 12M and 10M (3.5MHz to 30Mhz) bands making it effectively an 8-BTV.

The multi-band antenna from Hustler will easily handle full legal limit power on SSB and CW. It is built to last using thick walled heavy duty aluminium with extra heavy duty aluminium mounting brackets. Its uniquely designed traps offer the lowest possible loss and can be fine tuned for best SWR if required. With a vertical height of 7.3M it can be safely mounted where other verticals cannot. Radials are optional if the antenna is ground mounted but required if an elevated mount is used. Performance is as solid as its construction.

* 6 Bands: 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 80m

COMET CWA-1000

Comet CWA-1000 – 5 Band Dipole Wire Antenna

This antenna covers the 80m, 40m,20m,15m and 10m bands. It’s an inverted “K” or “Fan dipole.

It’s made by Comet and is suitable for all locations, it’s very strong antenna that can withstand hostile weather conditions etc. Covering from 80m to 10m and, with a suitable tuner can cover the maximum bandwidth on each band. The over-all length of the dipole is a very compact 19.9m and will handle legal limit power output with ease. The CWA1000 is supplied with a balun.
