Overview

Buckmaster OCF Dipole Antennas

Buckmaster OCF Dipole Antennas are made from the best quality materials with a completely potted waterproof balun and no external connectors. They are designed to give you years of trouble-free service!

Buckmaster antennas are shipped fully assembled, ready to deploy with no tuning or trimming required. Choose a model with a 300 watt balun or a 3,000 watt balun. Each has a weather protected SO-239 connector. They are offered in three lengths to operate in these bands:

- 270 ft. models cover 160, 80/75, 40, 20, 17, 12, 10, 6 meters
- 135 ft. models cover 80/75, 40, 20, 17, 12, 10, 6 meters
- 68 ft. models cover 40, 20, 10 and 6 meters

Classic OCF (Off-Center Fed) antennas, like Buckmaster, typically have the feedpoint at the 2/3 and 1/3 point on the overall half-wave wire antenna. That means one leg is twice as long as the other. They are intended to be installed with the feedpoint at 35 ft. and the ends at about 15 to 25 ft. However, other installations such as a horizontal "flat top" can work very well. A tuner may be required for best SWR.

Buckmaster OCF Dipole Antennas are a very simple way to get on the air and work multiple bands… quickly! They are a great choice as a first antenna or as a supplement to others. Order your Buckmaster OCF Dipole from DX Engineering.
