DX Engineering ATK65A Telescoping Aluminum Antenna Tubing Kits employ twelve aluminum-tubes and may be used as vertical radiators or as a telescopic mast for light-weight wire antennas. These multipurpose kits are great for portable operations, temporary use, or for more permanent installations. They're terrific for Field Day, DXpeditions, RVs, SOTA, camping, and more. Guying is required if these kits are extended beyond a 30 ft. height, so guy rings are included.
ATK65A kits consist of 11 slow-taper 6-ft. sections and one 3-ft. section of DX Engineering's rugged 6063-T832 drawn aluminum tubing. The kit includes all stainless-steel element clamps. The bottom section is the 2.0-in. outside-diameter heavy-wall (0.120 in. thick) that mates up to 2-1/8 in. diameter tubing with an 8 in. overlap, and then back to 2-in. diameter tubing with a 5 in. overlap to begin the taper. The sections continue to taper down to 7/8-in. diameter at the top. The overall length of the assembled sections is 780 inches, or 65 feet.
These kits are ideally suited as vertical radiators for your custom-designed antenna system, or as a four-square or other multiple-antenna array. They may be set to any band and any length up to 65-ft. by simply removing or telescoping the sections and clamping them at the desired length.
Note: For additional product information, please look at the files under the "Documentation" tab.
Whether you use them as a stack of aluminum for your experimentation, to support your wire antennas, or as quarter-wave resonant verticals, DX Engineering ATK65A Telescoping Aluminum Antenna Tubing Kits provide the most economical path to building your own designs!
