Bushcomm HORIZON 2040 Center-Fed Dipoles
Bushcomm HORIZON 2040 Center-Fed Dipoles are designed to be durable in the extreme. They are also very economical over the long haul. These stainless steel and copper antennas are constructed for emergency, temporary or permanent installation in some of the world's most inhospitable environments and they are built using only the highest-quality materials. And at only 13 meters in length, they will easily fit into most installation scenarios. Commercial antennas are rated with a usable VSWR of 2:1 or under. Rating the Horizon 2040 using this method the resonant band width is appropriately 150 kHz at 40 meters, 300 kHz on the 20 meter band. In most cases this will be fine. But if you prefer wider band width or tighter SWR an on-board tuner or the addition of a good-quality external tuner will help. When manufactured the antennas are hand tuned at approximately 3m (10 feet) above ground. For this reason, when you install the antenna, the height above ground or proximity of trees buildings sheds and so on will affect your SWR. You may have to retune for your requirements. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. Dipole antennas are tried and true since the very beginning of radio. Order Bushcomm HORIZON 2040 Center-Fed Dipoles from DX Engineering for your Go-Bag, RV, or the back yard!

Bushcomm Three-Band End-Fed Antennas
Bushcomm Three-Band End-Fed Antennas are designed and manufactured in Australia and are intended to offer simple and very efficient operation on the 40, 20 and 10 meter bands. Constructed for emergency, temporary or permanent installation in some of the world's most inhospitable environments, they are built using only the highest-quality materials. At only 12 meters in length, they will easily fit into most installation scenarios. Commercial antennas are rated with a usable VSWR of 2:1 or under. Rating the Horizon End-Fed using this method the resonant band width is appropriately 100 kHz at 40 meters, 300 kHz at 20 meters and 400 kHz on the 10 meter band. In most cases this will be fine. But if you prefer wider band width or tighter SWR an on-board tuner or the addition of a good-quality external tuner will help. These antennas use the grey balun box as their feed point and termination point for one end of the antenna. This end can be a tower, pole, side of the house, tree etc. Simply stretch the main radiating element outwards and pull it tight with your support rope. As the wire is G304 stainless steel, it may be pulled quite tight and will not stretch. This antenna is ground independent so grounding or radials are not required. When manufactured the antennas are hand tuned at approximately 3m (10 feet) above ground. For this reason when you install the antenna the height above ground or proximity of trees buildings sheds and so on will affect VSWR. You may have to retune for your requirements. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. End-fed antennas are gaining popularity.
