InnovAntennas VertiGO HF Vertical Antenna 33V is intended for the 40 through 15 meter bands (7 - 21.5 MHz) with a base-mounted remote tuner for DX and domestic operation. It stands at 33 ft. (10m) tall, which makes it the smallest and most inconspicuous of the three versions. The aluminum tubing diameters range from 1.97 in. (50mm) at the bottom to 0.51 in. (13mm) at the top, with nine sections. When fed directly, the 33V element is resonant at 40 and 15m. The antenna can be set up freestanding, without rope guying. Operation is possible on the 12, 10 and 6m bands, but is not intended for DX due to the high-angle pattern. The 33V can be a very good antenna for 40 through 15 meters when installed with a good radial system.

InnovAntennas VertiGO HF Vertical Antennas cover multiple bands when fed as a non-resonant radiator using a remote antenna tuner mounted at the base. They can also be fed directly as a monoband vertical and are typically and most easily installed as a ground-mounted vertical, depending on the location and the support. To achieve the matching required by modern transceivers and amplifiers, other shortened vertical radiators use traps or coils but, those components contribute to losses and power lost as heat. InnovAntennas VertiGO Antennas radiate on all bands along their entire length. Radials are required for efficient operation of any HF vertical; 16 or more ground radials are better, where their length isn’t critical. A remote tuner installed at the base of the antenna provides maximum efficiency and the best performance on the bands indicated. Higher frequencies will tune but higher angle patterns will limit performance. A ferrite bead choke (DXE-FBC) should be used at the remote tuner on the coaxial cable from the station to prevent it from radiating and collecting RF noise. VertiGO Vertical Antennas from InnovAntennas are available in three different height versions, each with rugged aluminum tubing sections, swaged and slit at the top for the element clamps. Brackets, clamps and stainless steel hardware are included for mounting to a user supplied support pipe.
