The DX Engineering Dual Band THUNDERBOLT™ 40/30 Meter Vertical Antenna is a high performance dual band pile-up buster that is tunable to operate with an SWR of 1.5:1 or less across both bands.  The maximum power rating assures solid performance - particularly on CW, and the digital modes so popular on 30 meters!
 
The massive fiberglass channel insulator supporting the rugged structural grade type 6063-T832 drawn aluminum antenna radiator has over twice the tensile and flexural strength of competitive nylon materials, and is superior for its RF handling characteristics.

Designed with rugged 6063 heat treated, corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing and stainless steel hardware, this antenna is very durable, free standing, attractive, and is an optimized height of less than 30 feet!
 
Now you can have full quarterwave performance on both bands - no compromise!
 
This is the perfect solution for the DXer who has not been able to enjoy top performance on the 30 meter band! Now, both 40 and 30 in one antenna - no bandswitching!  Now you can hear and work the weak ones!
 
Of course, another key to performance is a good ground radial system. 32 radials, 32 feet long are recommended. Fewer radials will work, but with diminished results.
 
The 40-30 Meter Vertical Antenna includes the antenna element, insulated fiberglass mounting channel, mounting plate, Tilt Base, stainless steel hardware, and stainless steel element clamps.
 
Features

• Full band coverage on 40 and 30 meters with SWR under 1.5:1 No Tuner needed 
•40m bandwidth greater than 750 kHz with SWR under 2:1
• Tunable above and below 7 MHz range for MARS and CAP frequencies
• Maximum Legal Power Handling
• Optimum 30 ft overall height
• Self Supporting design to withstand 60 MPH wind without guying
