Overview
Bushcomm SWC-100 HF Broadband Center-Fed Dipole Antennas
Bushcomm SWC-100 HF Broadband Center-Fed Dipole Antennas are a commercial-grade, single-wire broadband dipole antenna engineered for base station or semi-portable applications. Covering a true broadband frequency range of 2.0–30 MHz without requiring an external tuner, it delivers reliable performance in demanding environments. Built with stainless steel wire and a UV-resistant balun ensures long-term durability.
Measuring 157.5 feet in length, the SWC-100 supports multiple installation configurations—horizontal, inverted-V, or sloper. For limited spaces, an inverted-V setup at a 32-foot mast height reduces the footprint to approximately 141 feet. Rated for 130W PEP and 50W continuous power, it features a 50-ohm impedance and UHF-type (SO-239) connector. Weighing just 4.4 pounds, the SWC-100 is lightweight and easy to install.
Key Features:
- True Broadband Performance (2.0–30 MHz, No Tuner Required): The SWC-100 delivers seamless HF coverage across the entire 2.0–30 MHz range without the need for an external tuner or coupler. This ensures quick deployment, simplified setup, and reliable communication for both base station and semi-portable operations.
- Rugged, Weather-Resistant Construction: Built with high-quality stainless steel wire and fittings, combined with a UV-resistant balun, the SWC-100 is engineered for durability in harsh outdoor environments. These materials provide superior corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.
- Flexible Installation Options: Designed for versatility, the SWC-100 supports multiple configurations—including horizontal, inverted-V, and sloper setups—making it adaptable to various space constraints and operational requirements.
