InnovAntennas VertiGO HF Vertical Antenna 43V is intended for the 60 through 17 meter bands (5 - 18.5 MHz) with a base-mounted remote tuner for DX and domestic operation. It has an extended height of almost 43 ft. (13m) consisting of 14 sections with tube diameters from 2.36 in. (60mm) at the base to 0.24 in. (6mm) at the top. The antenna can be set up free standing, but guying at one or two levels is recommended. The '43V' is the middle size of the three versions with the same operating principle, and thus still quite inconspicuous. If it were fed directly, this 43 ft. element is resonant around 60 meters. This InnovAntennas VertiGO 43V can be a great antenna from 60 through 17 meters when installed with a good radial system. On the 15 through 6 meter bands operation is still possible, but higher frequencies on tall verticals yield higher angle patterns that will limit DX performance.

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 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.
