The DX Engineering fast taper 40VE-1 is a high-performance, self-supporting
vertical antenna system that operates over the entire 40 meter band
with an SWR of less than 1.5:1. The fast taper element provides the lowest wind
resistance. This vertical uses no coils or linear loading elements.
Designed with 6063 corrosion-resistant drawn aluminum tubing and stainless steel
hardware, this antenna is very durable and attractive. Rugged aluminum
alloy 6063 is most commonly used for seamless structural tube and pipe. It
is popular in structural use for both its high strength and great, long
lasting appearance. Alloy 6063 provides great resistance to general
corrosion, including resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. With
excellent surface appearance, 6063 is the best alloy for high strength, long
lasting antenna applications. The massive fiberglass channel insulator
supporting the 6063 drawn aluminum antenna radiator has over twice the
tensile and flexural strength of competitive nylon materials, and is superior
for its RF handling characteristics. With this antenna, you get full-size
40m performance for maximum signal and DX performance. Of
course, another key to performance in any 1/4 wave vertical is a good
ground radial system. For best performance on both 30 or 40 meters, 32
radials, 30 feet long are recommended. Fewer radials will work,
but with diminishing results. Features
- Full band coverage on 40 meters with SWR of under 1.5:1 - No Tuner
needed
- Bandwidth greater than 750 kHz with SWR under 2:1
- Tunable above and below 7 MHz range for MARS, CAP or Maritime Mobile
frequencies
- No Coils, or other loading schemes
- Power Handling up to 5 kW
- Full length quarterwave 33 ft overall height
The DX
Engineering 40VE-1 vertical antenna system includes:
Additional Material Needed but not Supplied
- Mounting pipe - Steel pipe, 1.75″ OD, 0.125″ min to 0.25″ wall thickness, 4
feet long
- Quik-set concrete for mounting pipe installation
- Radial wire and wire lugs - Use 14 gauge stranded copper wire with PVC
insulation. Minimum of 16 radials, 32 preferred, 30 feet
long . Bulk Radial Wire Kits using
the highest quality components are available for purchase.
- Penetrox
- To ensure good connection between aluminum hardware and in-between aluminum
tubing sections.
- Anti-seize compound - which should be used
on the threads of the Stainless Steel Hardware.
DX Engineering highly recommends the additional
purchase of a Vertical Feedline
Current Choke Kit, DX Engineering Radial
Plate and a Tilt
Base for use with the 40m Vertical Antenna. A DX Engineering
Vertical Feedline Current Choke is used
to optimize the performance of many kinds of antenna systems, including
verticals. It prevents unwanted RFI by eliminating feedline current and
radiation. By eliminating stray currents from the feedline all power goes to the
antenna, and any noise or unwanted signals picked-up by the feedline are
eliminated, improving efficiency. Using a feedline choke can also help overcome
a less than optimal ground system. The DX
Engineering Radial Plate is meant for those of you who want an easy, neat
and effective way to connect those essential radial wires and the coax to the
40m vertical antenna for the highest performance and strongest signals.
A DX Engineering Tilt Base means NO more climbing ladders to tune
your 1/4 wave vertical antenna! One person can easily walk down the antenna to
tune or make repairs. Simply lift the antenna, tilt to the side and walk it
down. After the antenna is up, you tighten the bolts to the plate to keep it in
place. Conveniently mounts to the same mast that you use for the antenna and
radial plate. Lightning

The DX Engineering DXE-40VE-1 is a fast taper design for lowest wind resistance. The tubing sizes taper from a massive 2 in at the base to a sleek 1/2 in at the tip. Type 6063 corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing and stainless steel hardware are used throughout..
At an optimum 33 feet in length, this antenna provides full-band 40M coverage in an antenna that is one quarter wavelength high. The antenna may be used as a monoband antenna on a higher frequency by simply telescoping the tubing inward to a quarter wavelength on the desired band. As supplied, an extra tubing section is part of the design to allow extension to 36 feet if necessary.
Of course, another key to performance is a good ground radial system. 32 radials, 30 feet long are recommended. Fewer radials will work, but with diminishing results.
The DXE-40VE-1 vertical antenna system includes the antenna elements, mounting plate, stainless steel hardware and clamps.
Features
- Full band coverage on 40 meters with an SWR under 1.5:1 - no tuner needed
- Bandwidth greater than 300 kHz with SWR under 2:1
- No Coils or Traps – Maximum Radiation Efficiency
- Power Handling up to 5 kW (see FCC rules for power limitations)
- Only 33 ft overall height (adjustable to 36 ft)
- Weighs only 15 lbs.
- Monoband 40 meter operation
- Ideal for 4-Square or Dual Antenna Arrays
